This is quite an interesting story. It tells how a massive sinkhole has appeared in the Derbyshire Peak District in the village of Foolow. The hole is 160 feet across.
In spite of the fact that the hole is getting bigger – that is, the edges are still collapsing inwards – you will note the pillock in the photograph standing on the edge, obviously on unstable and displaced ground. So it’s no surprise to see this follow up story, where the public is being warned to stay away for their own safety. This is in response to the influx of additional pillocks who are ignoring the closed footpath signs to get up close.
The hole is believed to be due to the collapse of an old mine shaft, and British Fluorspar has been asked to make it safe.
