Title: Wall collapses at Lewes Castle
Post by: CLKD on November 11, 2019, 07:11:27 PM

 :o

Emergency teams with sniffer dogs are searching for casualties after a wall at a 1,000-year-old castle collapsed.

About 600 tonnes of stonework and other materials at Lewes Castle in East Sussex fell on to a house and garden.

How awful, have not seen anything on the news, I hope no one is hurt too badly, but that might be too optimistic,

Yep.  Just watched it on our local news.  We have been there several times and it's going to take ages to sort out.  The access is just an alleyway.

Sniffer dogs being used.  Hopefully there were no pets in the house  :'( and that the owners were still at work!
