The earth literally moved for many thousands of people in 1984 when the Liverpool region experienced its biggest earthquake of modern times.
The quake of July 19 of that year struck the Llŷn Peninsula in Gwynedd, north-west Wales. That measured a whopping 5.4 points on the Richter scale - the largest recorded in the UK since measurements began - but was felt strongly in Liverpool, 65 miles away.
Chimneys were toppled and buildings were left cracked and damaged. Some even had to be demolished after being declared structurally unsafe.
