A field has disappeared into a giant sink hole at Foolow in The Derbyshire Peak District.
Locals said the huge hole, measuring more than 160 ft across and 130 ft deep, began collapsing on Sunday and is still growing.
It is thought heavy rain caused part of the Mill Dam Old Lead Mine to cave-in.
Electricity engineers visited the site today to assess how to re-route electricity cables after two electricity poles were left standing precariously either side of the hole.
