Secret tunnels reveal fascinating hidden history - video

CHRIST'S Hospital School has opened the doors to a secretive maze of service tunnels running beneath the school.

The two miles of tunnel built along with the private school near Horsham at the end of the nineteenth century were once used as air raid shelters during World War Two.

For years they have been closed to the outside world, but the County Times was given exclusive video access and interviewed Christ's Hospital facilities manager Neil Manning.
