Prodigious Rock Fall Disrupts Shakespear’s Cliff Path
News from London reports a massive rock fall at Shakespear's Cliff near Dover creating impassable sea roads to Folkestone. Residents flee as further rock subsidence endangers Snargate Street dwellings and a wall near the castle front. Also noted are elections at the Society for the Encouragement of Arts and a King’s Bench forestalling case, plus marriages and deaths in the period.
