The Whitchurch sinkhole
A major incident has been declared over what police have called a sinkhole in Whitchurch. People living on canal boats had to be rescued in the early hours of the morning after the sinkhole opened up. Lorraine Barlow lives on the canal and woke up knowing something was wrong, "there was no water in the canal, I was actually on the bottom of the canal."
