About this video - 

A grandfather discovered a World War Two air raid shelter at the home he has lived in for the past 40 years after he inspected a manhole cover in the garden. 

Khandu Patel, 68, lifted the manhole cover in the garden of his home in Wolverhampton while gardening. 

The semi-detatched house was built in the 1920s and a previous owner had excavated a large air raid shelter in the garden. 

Mr Patel and his wife Usha, 62, have lived at the home for 40 years. 

He told The Sun: 'I’d always wondered why the manhole cover was there. During lockdown me and a friend decided to lift it up. Under it was concrete.

'We started digging and it became apparent it was a staircase. It was amazing seeing all the steps exposed.' 

Soon, Mr Patel and his friend had excavated a set of stairs which went 10 feet under his garden. 

He added: 'We reckon most of the street would have used it during the war. It could probably have got 40 people inside cramped. We’re turning it into a bar. It’s going to be where we can relax and when allowed, have family over.'  

Since uncovering his shelter, Mr Patel has painted the walls and installed a table and some lights. 

The shelter was made from brick and concrete.
