House demolished after Ripon sinkhole damage
The house that was torn apart when a sinkhole opened up in the ground below it is now a pile of rubble.
Sinkhole appears in Ripon
Homes have been evacuated in Ripon after a sinkhole has appeared.
The hole is approximately 25ft in diameter and is believed to be due to a gypsum fault.
The sink hole appeared near a property on Magdalen's Close and has caused part of the building to collapse. Nobody was in the property and a dog has been rescued.
Fire and rescue crews have cordoned off the area and are awaiting the arrival of specialist engineers.
