20, Railway Road, Downham Market. Almost on the centreline of the road at this location is an easily-missed but violent pot hole that is not so much a pot hole as a small but deep depression in the road surface. There was a long-term leak from a water main here previously which may have washed away some of the sub soil. Whatever the cause, this defect needs attention.
