RUNAWAY LORRY
A heavy lorry belonging to Coutts Bros, and Hare, Ltd., ended up in an awkward situation when it ran-.away in Church Street at about 11 a.m. today. It was being used to convey gravel to the site of a new concrete building now under construction in Church Street. After having been backed up the steep, narrow street almost to the foot of the Church Street, steps, it was stopped for unloading. This job was almost completed when the lorry ran some yards down the street, crashed through a railing, and came to rest at an angle of about 45 degrees with its radiator on the edge of a deep sewerage excavation. Fortunately no one was injured, but the removal of the truck presented a difficult problem.
The Cutty Sark, built in 1867, and last of the famous China tea clippers, is to end her days in the Thames at Greenhithe as a. training ship for boys intended for the Merchant Service.
