I wonder how many of the other ones like it suffered a catastrophic failure in the intervening years and are no longer around for people to find? and how many people died as a result?

Not many have survived, I'd imagine, being convenient spaces to infill with builders' rubbish for a century or so.

One of my family knows more about the local area than most, having researched all the older buildings in the parish and published a book about them. No records of any deaths in relation to these storage reservoirs to his knowledge.

The site was up for sale not long ago - Asking price was around £2.5M as I recall...

A little smaller, and quite a bit cheaper at just £18,000 - http://uniquepropertybulletin.org/ukwmo-brundall-norfolk-underground-bunker/

Did someone mention Building Control?

Surely the council don't care as long as it's invisible when finished?

That may satisfy Planning but BC is concerned with safety above all else.

Settle for doing it six feet deep, three feet wide, and six feet six inches long, and you'll be fine. Order in a nice bit of stone as well, and that'll do nicely. Something that can be engraved would be best.

:T Brilliant!

Something similar happened to a house down the road from here. It was rather convenient as the owner had previously been refused permission to demolish the house and replace it with two new ones.

There are now two new houses on the site.
