The scaffolding had been erected along the 100-yard front of the City's largest store (Lewis's); but luckily the collapse oc- curred at 6.55 pm, when the shop was shut and the roadway outside deserted. Half-an- hour earlier the pavement had been crowded with window-shoppers on their way home from work-a collapse then would have killed many of them.
