"Firefighters placed a cordon around it and gave safety advice."

You've got to laugh

I've seen this happen in someone's patio. A few years back, my supervisor and I were on our way back from a site visit when we got asked to divert and take a look at a hole that had opened in a patio. It was 12ft across, 20ft deep and had swallowed a bike parked beside the window. It turned out to be an old well.

The house will probably follow it.

If it had been a VW Golf they you could shout "in the hole!"

Why can't you lot take this seriously? Someone has lost a much loved automobile..

To right, you can see the bottom of the foundations in the photograph - Not sure I would be too happy moving back in without a full geological survey. I couldnt sleep at night!
You can see the remains of a small circle of stones in the driveway, could that have been a well?

round the corner from my house:

March 1988, I was working at Colmans and had just bought a Puegeot touring bike that would carry me to Greece that summer, happy days!

I have a well at the bottom of my driveway, do I drive over is slowly or faster, I am thinking faster.

Old chalk mine. 11th century.

Tonight's 'Horizon' programme is all about sink holes apparently. It includes the story of a poor bloke who fell into one as it opened up and was never seen again

And probably some much-loved value on their house...

"Don't fall in the hole now."

What would we do without experts?

We had a mine shaft collapse here just before last Christmas. The thing I remember was the quote from one of the residents: -

"I thought it might be serious when I saw next-doors shed disappear". I wonder what would have needed to happen before he knew it was serious.
