Default Manchester sinkhole: Houses collapse in Gorton street


Two houses have partially collapsed after a sinkhole measuring 10ft (3m) opened up on a Manchester street.

Four homes were evacuated on Wednesday evening after the hole appeared on Walmer Street in Abbey Hey, Gorton.

Fire crews returned hours later after the front of two of the empty properties crashed to the ground.

United Utilities said it was dealing with a collapsed sewer but was investigating all possible causes including the recent heavy rain.

The idea that the ground beneath us could give way at any moment is terrifying
