Just seen this post, Yes, I live about 7 miles from Oakham Rutland :- pictures swayed, ornaments rattled, cat shot upstairs under bed I think, as she re-appeared later covered in fluff (I'm not a fan of housework !) and there was a funny sort of rumbling it lasted about 2/3 seconds.

Very sad too young.

Thank you both, my mother lived on Oakworth Rd Keighley up until after the war I am not sure she would recognize much now.

Wow crisp sarnies that's something I used to make in the army over 40 years ago, funny how things come and go, and come again. If you keep your clothes long enough you suddenly find your the height of fashion !!
