Atlantis imploding?Or, the 1931 Dogger Bank earthquake
What?
The Dogger Bank earthquake of 1931 was the strongest earthquake recorded in the United Kingdom since measurements began.
But it doesn't say when "measurements began" - might have been 1930 for all we know.
When? Where?
The tremor began at around 1:30 am on 7 June 1931 with its epicentre located at the Dogger Bank, 60 miles (97 km) off the Yorkshire coast in the North Sea.
How much?
The effects were felt throughout Great Britain as well as in Belgium and France. The earthquake resulted in damage at locations throughout eastern England. The coastal town of Filey in Yorkshire was worst hit, with the spire of a church being twisted by the tremor. Chimneys collapsed in Hull, Beverley and Bridlington, and Flamborough Head suffered crumbling of parts of its cliffs.
There were also some curious reports of lights seen in the sky at the time of the shock. The shock was reported as being felt on board ship by a number of vessels in the N Sea.
Who?
It was also reported that a Hull woman died as a result of a heart attack caused by the quake. In London the head of the waxwork of Dr Crippen at Madame Tussauds fell off.
Fancy that, Crippen lost his head again.
