A sinkhole has appeared above a former burial site after an old crypt collapsed.
Video taken in Grant Gardens, previously Liverpool Necropolis and now a public park on Everton Road, shows the formation of the hole.
The sinkhole is said to have formed over the site of a former crypt that was not filled in correctly.
Footage shows a substantial hole which has exposed the underground area.
Grant Gardens was opened in 1914, sitting above a former cemetery which is believed to hold up to 80,000 bodies.
