Details of Event
When taking a tub down steep road the tub swerved and caught a prop, breaking it and allowing a large piece of fireclay to fall from a slip. Three weeks before, on the opposite side of the road, a similar prop was removed the clay above taken down; it was unfortunate both sides were not done, the slip was very pronounced. (Roof average).
