    Yeah I felt this in Oswestry. I thought someone was doing DIY in the office below me. Quite a strong judder to be fair.

    Same over here in Cheshire - about 15 miles away and it did make the house creak.

    Interesting that you mention "creaking". I didn't feel this most recent earthquake here in London but I did feel the 2008 Market Rasen earthquake here. I happened to be standing outside my house at time and the thing I remember most was the sound of the houses up and down the street creaking, and the nearby lamp post vibrating slightly.

    Oh, I see there was a 5.1 earthquake in Shropshire back in 1990: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1990_B...tle_earthquake
