Description

DescriptionIpswich experienced a massive thunderstorm, with heavy hail and strong winds, on the afternoon of 30th November 1930.

A new block of the school collapsed due to brick supporting piers being snapped off by the sweeping winds.

Minister for works, R. King, promised a full investigation into the design of the buildings, that had been constructed six years earlier, and suggested that buildings would be strengthened if necessary.
