Grandfather, 68, discovers WWII bomb shelter under the lawn
A grandfather discovered a World War Two air raid shelter at the home he has lived in for the past 40 years after he inspected a manhole cover in the garden.
Khandu Patel, 68, lifted the manhole cover in the garden of his home in Wolverhampton while gardening.
Mr Patel and his wife Usha, 62, have lived at the home for 40 years. He told The Sun: 'I’d always wondered why the manhole cover was there. During lockdown me and a friend decided to lift it up. Under it was concrete.
'We started digging and it became apparent it was a staircase. It was amazing seeing all the steps exposed.'
A great opportunity to self isolate during the COVID Pandemic!
