Ian Girdlestone, 49, lives off King Street, "It was just a little trickle to start with and it has got a lot worse. First time I saw it was yesterday morning.
"As the water floods, it is getting softer and softer and a hole has formed."

Many homes across Norwich experienced a loss of water supply or low pressure due to warmer weather.
The dramatic rise in temperatures over Sunday and into Monday resulted in a rapid thaw.
This created issues with water pipes bursting.
An Anglian Water spokesperson said: "As the temperatures rise after the recent cold snap, burst pipes become much more likely as they expand with the warmer weather."
Over the last week, Arctic wind brought subzero temperatures to Norfolk, dropping as low as -9C.
A yellow weather warning was in place on Sunday (December 18) for East Anglia, between 3am and 11am.
Temperatures then rose with many employees shedding layers on the walk to work.
Weatherquest forecaster, Chris Bell, said: "The weather is about to shift from below average to above average temperatures from Monday.
"On Sunday afternoon, cloudy conditions will make it feel milder with sleet showers in the afternoon turning into rain by the evening.
"Temperatures will rise through the night into Monday when it will become milder with highs of 13C."
Anglian Water warns that if customers experience a loss of water supply or low pressure, water may appear cloudy.
They should run their tap for several minutes and it should clear.
As of 7.40pm on Monday, Anglian Water reported that the burst water main in the Lakenham area had been repaired.
A spokesman added: "Even though the water is back it may look a little cloudy or discoloured but if you run your tap for a few minutes it should clear.
"If you're still having a problem with low pressure or no water please call us on 03457 145145 so we can look into this for you.
"Again we are really sorry for any inconvenience caused by this interruption."
