Sheringham sinkhole: New pictures of High Street chasm

Drone pictures have shown the extent of a sinkhole that has caused large disruption in a seaside town.

The two metre-wide hole appeared at about 13:00 BST on 25 May in the High Street in Sheringham, Norfolk prompting calls to the emergency services.

The fire service said it was about 16ft (5m) deep.

Anglian Water sectioned off part of the street and hoped to get down to the damaged sewage pipe this coming Saturday.
