The unique complex contains more than 1,300 square feet of underground space, including tunnels and storage rooms – and even a hand-built railway. One room even features a secret entrance – hidden inside a rocket by the pool. There is a one-ton goods lift and two secret doors – one formed by a 1.5-ton sliding concrete wall. Hidden for decades beneath a workshop in a suburb of Tilehurst in Reading, the network descends through four levels and reaches more than 15m below ground. Tony, whose initial day job was in the construction of aerodrome and airport infrastructure, started the construction work by himself during the 1980s and 90s. He was also assisted by his six children. Incredibly, the only apparatus the family used to conduct the digging and move the chalk were buckets and wheelbarrows.
