Video: Family left baffled by deep hole which appeared on their front lawn - complete with rusty steps leading down into the darkness

The more than two metre deep hole appeared when home owner Emma James was mowing the lawn but the cause is still a mystery.

There are a few rusty steps steps leading down into the dark two by two feet hole which currently isn’t big enough to squeeze down. Emma, 45, and her husband Kevin, 48, even contacted the company who built the house back in 1984 with no luck of finding out what the hole leads to. Emma said: “It is really odd as there are steps which lead down but we don’t know what to and there was no lid or cover on it.
