The surveyor says there is a suspected earth fault under the pub. Sam does little to settle their minds when he tells Henry that over 40 years ago there used to be a house owned by Derby Eccles which was located behind the pub that fell down one night, following the discovery of a crack. Amos says that if Henry hadn't had mentioned surveying he could have had Wilf Padgett come back and fill the crack in. Henry suggests moving the premises and having the license transferred but Amos is not pleased.
