St Leonards hospital’s league of friends is keen to find out if rumours of underground tunnels and operating theatres are true.

Chairman Jacqueline Moss said: “I am looking for anyone that can remember the hospital or has any photographs of the site in its hey day. Has anyone actually seen these tunnels and theatre or is it just myth?”

Any findings will go on the league’s website, www.stleonardsfriends.co.uk, currently under construction.
