A Mini van lay buried beneath the rubble of a house, part of which crumbled away, when Narberth awoke on January 24. The fall occurred when the pine end of Albert House, High Street, tumbled into the narrow lane which links High Street and Water Street. All day, workmen picked their way through the rubble in the cavernous side of the house to make it safe. The house was vacant. The scene was reminiscent of a war-time air raid, as if a bomb had plummetted through the calm of nocturnal Narberth to shear off a slice of Albert House.
