A fence around a hole
Image: © A J Paxton Taken: 30 May 2021
Fenced-off hole on a patch of open ground between Bayton Road industrial estate and Hawkesbury, Bedworth. At least three more sites in this area have been similarly fenced off and are visible in the distance on this photo. They are presumably subsidence resulting from coal mining, which was carried out in Bedworth until 1982. Other holes in the vicinity have developed into flashes, ponds resulting from subsidence.
