Photos show animals free by the roadside

This was the scene near a Sheffield county lane this afternoon - as cows escaped from their field.

Eyewitnesses said four of the animals could be seen loose on New Road, near Dam Flask reservoir. Pictures show them loose in woods, next to the road.

The pictures also show efforts being carried out to round them up and return them to their fields.

New Road is a rural lane which runs between the villages of Dungworth and Bradfield, just south of the Dam Flask reservoir.

It is in a part of Sheffeld close the Peak District.

The pictures were taken just before 2pm.
