A man is surprised by a strange sound when he drives his car over the driveway and decides to investigate what it is. he begins to dig and is completely amazed when he discovers a hidden space.

On an ordinary day in Luton, 37-year-old Simon Marks discovered a historic treasure beneath his driveway. While maneuvering his car, Simon found an opening leading to a hidden structure, initially fearing it was a sinkhole. However, after examining the site with a selfiestick, he realized it was an underground World War II shelter.

The shelter, made of concrete lintels and in remarkable condition, was recognized by Simon’s father, Gerald, for its historical significance. This well-preserved space, consisting of two rooms, was built in response to nearby German bombings during the war. Simon and Gerald have since excavated the shelter, uncovering artifacts like glass bottles and old newspapers, offering a glimpse into wartime life.

Simon is dedicated to preserving this piece of local history, respecting the craftsmanship and effort involved in its construction. He sees it as his responsibility to maintain the shelter for future generations, showcasing the hidden history within our surroundings.

Simon’s discovery highlights how remnants of the past can lie hidden, waiting to be rediscovered, much like the recent uncovering of a secret fire station in the West Midlands. These stories remind us of the concealed histories in our everyday environments.
