On Saturday 13th May 1911, a severe thunderstorm broke out in the area. Amongst the damaged properties, the Horse Shoes suffered a lightening strike at about two o'clock. The chimney stack on the western end was split from top to bottom, several tiles were lifted and about three rows of tiles smashed. The gable end boarding was splintered and the concrete rainwater drainage sink was broken. Inside, one of the bedrooms was wrecked and plaster above the fireplace was torn from the wall and embedded on the opposite wall. The strike filled the house with smoke which caused concern, but there was no fire. Lath and plaster were wrenched from walls. In the kitchen the grate was forced forward, tessellated tiles were broken, a chair was hurled a yard and the floor was covered in soot and water. The lightening bolt then escaped through the kitchen door.
