Before it's News
Torn apart: A view of one of three properties which had to evacuated after a sinkhole opened up in a Yorkshire street, the latest in a series of ground collapses in recent days
A heartbroken couple fear they may never be able to return to their home after a massive sink hole threatened to swallow it up.
Two other houses also had to be evacuated after the massive 25ft-wide crater opened up in the street.
Peter Cunningham and his wife Susan returned to the property today as fears grew that part of the structure could collapse.
The area around the property in Magdalen’s Road, Ripon, North Yorkshire, was cordoned off as engineers prepared to check on the property’s safety.
Emergency services were alerted yesterday evening after Mr Cunningham, 61, returned home to find a crack in the wall of the detached house.
