A 18 000 lb charge set in three galleries beneath the Shakespeare cliff at Dover was ignited to blast away a protruding chalk mass. The blast, timed with flags and signals, caused the cliff top to sink and slide into the sea in minutes, drawing crowds and praising engineer Mr Cubitt for the achievement.
