Man builds WWII-style bunker beneath his garden with 35ft tunnel and hidden beer lift

Dave Billings, 43, has built two bunkers connected by a 35-foot passage, along with a lift disguised as a beer keg to carry drinks underground. By October 2024, he had spent around £30,000 on the project and expected the final construction cost to reach £35,000.
