today ive just seen they are beginning the demoltion of the sandford arms.the grassy baking behind the pub going down broad lane underneath is a very large air raid shelter.it will be interesting if they are going to excavate the shelter.when we were kids in the 50s the entrance was broken into and some big lads very daring ,not me climbed down and walked about.i just looked down and saw a sign pointing to the tiolets.it was sealed up shortly afterwards.i wonder if any artifacts will be found.unfortunately i,ll be out of the country for next two weeks .hope someone will keep us informed

Yeah it would be good to have someone local keep a look out for this... Thanks Kelly

Come on Jane.. someone who wears devils horns & keeps bodies in the cellar is surely brave enough to look at that

Oh Jane... All that talk off dead bodies must have got you all excited with the double posts... Glad you like my most recent pics by the way

the shelter is under the big grass bank going down broad lane behind the pub .i assume if they are demolishing the pub they will also excavate the shelter behind the pub
