There was one appeared at Walters Ash, about fifteen miles away from the Hemel Hempstead one, another has also appeared about half a mile from the Walters Ash one, plus the one on the M2.

An expert on the radio said that the on the M2 was mining related. After all the rain I expect we shall see many more on the news. Black MY2013 SD4 GS Auto, Wood Company Armrest, Freel2 sticker.

Apparently the two in Walters Ash are also mining related, possibly the soil is very loose due to the amount of rain, with ground water levels now very high Question

Writing about mining in the area on a community website, a local historian explained: 'Earlier inhabitants of Naphill and Walters Ash made a living by digging on the Common and in the fields – digging for clay to make bricks, for chalk to make agricultural lime and for stone to shape as building and road making materials.
'The records show this going back from the 1950s to the early 1800s, and such activity may have started many years before that.'

France 2007 Freelander 2 TD4 HSE Manual Narvik Black

There was a programme on TV a week or so ago about sink holes in Florida, anyone see it? Basically the whole of Florida is disappearing into sink holes due to the lime rock base which is dissolving through water action. Very scary and very good business for all the concrete pouring lorries working round the clock on "posh" housing areas! John

Yeah I saw that, and still people are clamouring to buy property fronting the bigger lakes/ponds that are sinkholes filled with water Confused
I nearly got up and cheered when I saw an American flag disappear into the bowels of the earth Laughing
