As miner Mickey Palmer was listening to Journey Into Space at 20 Newtown-st, Canterbury, a crack, crunch and a thud literally brought the roof down as his house, and number 19 next door, collapsed into a pile of rubble. Neighbours, police and firemen were quickly on the scene – thankfully there were no casualties. Neighbour Dave Bundock from No. 19 turned up to see what the fuss was about – he had been around the corner having a drink. It transpired that the walls had been bulging for a while.
