A House Through Time

In last night’s episode a crack in the ceiling was shown to have been caused by the earthquake of June 7th 1931, centred in Dogger Bank. The front page of the Yorkshire paper was shown.

I wasn't alive in 1931 but I was living in Lincoln at the time of the earthquake in 2008. Not being a good sleeper I was up in the middle of the night when it occurred. I remember the sound of it being like a train coming towards our house.
