            My parent's house was once part of an old country estate, which was broken up and parcelled off in the 1920s. Their house was originally a worker's cottage, and at the top of the hill on the opposite side of the road was the estate hunting lodge. When I was a child new people moved into the hunting lodge and started working on the gardens again, which had been neglected for many years. I'm sure they found all sorts, but the one that stood out was the discovary of a reinforced tunnel that travelled from the lodge garden, under the road and came out just beyond the top of our garden. Local history has it that it was built back when the estate was at its finest, so that the gentry didn't have to see their staff crossing the road on the way to and from work!

              It might be from a Poachers gun:dunno::scratch: I was given a folding .22 rifle by an ex-poacher who used to shoot Pheasants and Partridges at nighttime, with the front bead sight painted white, while I was in the rif raf stationed in Norfolk.:heehee:
