A huge pothole has been spotted that is shaped like the United Kingdom.

The mammoth hole is 11ft long and 4ft wide.

It has a protruding part like Cornwall and Devon at the bottom.

It also has areas that resemble Wales and East Anglia.

It was spotted by a stunned shopper in Church Street, Burnley.

The pothole is just around the corner of Premier League Burnley’s Turf Moor stadium.

One local said: “I was walking along Church Street when I saw a pothole that looked like Great Britain.

“It’s taller than me and you can see the cobblestone.

Another Jon Gregory, 46, said: “The roads are a mess.

“The potholes are everywhere.

“I pay council tax but also have to pay for repairs to my car.

“It’s a complete joke.”

It comes as the AA last month said reports of potholes in the UK are at a five year high.

The pothole is ironically just a stone’s throw from a £6.1million, behind-schedule major road scheme.

The Turf 2 Town scheme began last January and was set to be complete this summer.

But it is not expected to be finished until September now.

The aim of the scheme is to improve pedestrian links between the town’s shopping centre and the Clarets’ ground.
