What secrets is the iconic Rock of Gibraltar hiding?

Over the centuries, a 34-mile network of tunnels has been carved inside it – mostly during times of war.

During WW2, an entire garrison was built inside - 16,500 soldiers living inside the lump of limestone.

In the second episode of our exclusive series, Hannah King (@FTVHan) has been exploring some of the unusual uses that have been found for the wartime tunnels. πŸ‘€
