Air raid shelter 'found under driveway' in Luton

A man discovered what is thought to be an air raid shelter under his driveway after his car wheel got stuck in a hole.

Simon Marks, who lives in Malzeard Road, Luton, was reversing out of his driveway when his wheel got trapped.

"I thought it might be a sinkhole or a badly constructed garden," he said.

"I was just terrified the whole house was going to vanish."

Mr Marks said signs of a ladder could be seen down the hole, so he used a selfie stick to see what was down there.

"We could see all the structure inside, so we set about digging out all the mud," he said.

"It was so well structured with the concrete roof and the walls, it was quite clear what it was going to be. We googled other air raid shelters and they were all of a similar structure, so it clicked quite quickly what it was."
