South Street, bottom left, was the scene of a fatal snow avalanche in late December, 1836. Eight persons were killed in a flattened row of cottages roughly where the yellow-walled building just showing beyond the chalk face is. Between the quarried faces, which may at least in part post-date 1836, the hill slope is exceedingly steep. The yellow-walled building is a pub named in commemoration 'The Snowdrop'.
