Massive 300ft Cornish sinkhole opens up just feet from a £200,000 bungalow which now risks disappearing into the old mine workings
When the latest mine opened up in Scorrier, an enterprising local rigged a camera to a drone and sent it above the shaft to show how deep it really is. It is almost impossible to see the bottom of the sinkhole - which would be deadly to anyone who accidentally fell in - even with a bird's-eye view. Mark Thomas, who filmed the video, wrote online: 'A massive mineshaft opens up under a garage at a house in Scorrier near Redruth in Cornwall. This shaft is truly massive and is approximately 300ft [90m] to water - and God knows how deep from there!'
