I was reviewing this topic and Ted's mention of an earthquake around 1900 rang a bell. I searched in the index and the CH shed co's minute books but can't find anything definite. However, I have a memory of reading a report on a quake which triggered the insurance companies requiring additional bands on many chineys in the area. (No fracking involved!)
