Penny	Colchester Earthquake: any songs? (8)	Colchester Earthquake: any songs?	07 May 99
This just came into my head while reading another thread where quakes were mentioned, and it struck me that I had never heard anything on this subject. Every now and then I find things in history that you would have thought would have been recorded in folklore, and seem to have fallen through the net without anyone taking them up either in song or story, and it's quite interesting wondering why. Does anyone know if there is anything on this one? It happened in 1884, and was big enough to count internationally, about VI on the Mercalli scale, I think, with building damage, church spires and roofs falling.
