Torrential rain caused a canal to burst for the first time in more than 50 years.

Bridgewater Canal, in Dunham Massey, Greater Manchester, completely gave way on one side, with water pouring into neighbouring fields.

The canal last burst in 1971 - when it was closed for two years for repairs which cost £250,000.

It comes after homes in Manchester, Stockport, Wigan and Bolton were evacuated due to flooding.
