YORK Minster is falling down - that s a sentence sure to grab your attention. And it is one uttered in this BBC report from 1967 reporting on the launch of a £2 million appeal to save the York landmark. In the news report, first broadcast more than 50 years ago on April 7, 1967 (which you can view at the end of this article), the presenter reveals how £2 million is needed to stop the building from collapse. Urgent repairs are needed to the central tower, known as the lantern tower, to prevent the Minster from falling down in the next 15 years. Severe cracks had been detected in the foundations and in the arches of the adjoining crypt.
