Is North Yorkshire prone to ground movement?
Parts of North Yorkshire have clay that can shrink near trees in dry spells. Parts of North Yorkshire lie on a former coalfield, so a coal mining search is worth checking if movement has no obvious cause. Typical buildings in North Yorkshire: Stone cottages, Georgian and Victorian houses in York and Harrogate, and brick terraces on Teesside.
