In Godstone, an enormous 65ft sinkhole poses a serious threat to numerous homes, leading to evacuation orders for 30 properties. Despite danger, 87-year-old Bren Davis remains adamant about staying in his ancestral home, built by his grandfather. Bren feels a strong emotional connection to the house, citing its structural integrity and devising an escape plan. Evacuated residents like Noosh Miri recount the fear and disruption caused by the unexpected sinkhole, with some families forced into temporary accommodations. Bren's resilience starkly contrasts with the exodus of his neighbors, showcasing a poignant battle between emotional attachment and safety.
As the sinkhole grows, evacuations have been ordered for nearly 30 properties on Godstone's High Street, and families have had to leave behind homes they've lived in for years.
Bren's confidence in his home's resilience is unwavering. "There are more bricks below our house than above," he explains, his attachment to the house running deep.
