A huge network of Victorian tunnels has been discovered near a large sinkhole in a quiet Surrey village.

Residents in over 30 homes in Godstone were evacuated after part of the high street collapsed overnight on February 17.

Now a network of abandoned sand mines surrounding the hole, which grew to a staggering 19 metres in length. A second hole opened up days after the first.
