As I happened to pass an upstairs window I saw one of the workmen flat on his stomach looking down this hole - sadly I was too late to grab the camera but the 'the hole in the ground' reminded me of Bernard Cribbins who had a chart topper with this song in 1962!!!! the start of which went like this.....

demented soul and he said ...........
