So far there are 544 known caves under the city of Nottingham but they keep on finding them. Many were used in the past as dwellings, breweries or even remarkably a tannery, and some are still attractions as restaurants or bike sheds.
They can be visited today and are are still being investigated by archaeologist Dr. David Strange-Walker (I kid you not :blink: )

Update on that story, with some piccies:
Nottingham is an English city with a secret: inhabitants have been digging caves here for 1700 years. More than 500 have been found – and a new project is revealing their secrets.
