The factory is a strongly constructed brick building, and is little

 cstate - have been cracked at the crown. Several walls 



running N. — S. have moved slightly to the west. Filled-in arches 

 display cracks round the edge of the filling. The pillar supporting the 

 filled-in verandah arches at the S. W. corner was cracked horizontally 

 by the thrust of the arches. The manager's bungalow is seriously
