BOURNE PARK RAILWAY TUNNEL
Bourne Park asked for a tunnel beneath his land because he did not wish the view from his mansion to be spoiled. Being a rich man he got what he wanted (don't they always). It came in handy though; During the war they put in there a 250 ton 18" military gun, called the 'Boche Buster'.
