Picture shows exact spot of Llangollen Canal culvert collapse
The collapse has caused homes to be flooded and contractors are on site.
This picture shows the exact spot of the culvert collapse under the canal at Hampton Bank in north Shropshire.
A stretch of the Llangollen Canal at Hampton Bank, near Ellesmere, has collapsed due to the structural failure of a pipe that carries water beneath it.
It has caused homes to be flooded and contractors are on site.
The Canal & River Trust, which is dealing with the incident, said the affected section of the canal has been closed and emergency works are being carried out to slow the flow of water into a neighbourhood field.
An investigation is under way to establish the possible cause of the collapse.
