GoKawiilReading house with 50ft hand-dug tunnel network goes to auction at £300k
A property in Tilehurst, Reading, is going to auction with over 1,300 square feet of underground space built by hand over decades, including tunnels reaching more than 15 metres deep, a railway, a one-tonne goods lift and a hidden entrance disguised as a rocket by the pool. The tunnels were dug by former aerodrome construction worker Tony Deane and his six children using only buckets and wheelbarrows, starting in the 1960s with underground changing rooms and continuing through the 1980s and 90s.
