1802, a stone urn atop #StMaryLeStrand fell, killing 3 men & injuring others. To watch the Heralds March & announce the #TreatyOfAmiens a man leant on the urn & caused it to accidentally fall. In fact, the fault was put in motion 100 yrs before when #JamesGibbs workmen mounted the urn on a wooden spike that rotted over time, instead of iron. #HiddenHistory #PeopleOfTheStrand
