Doncaster had one several years ago, but i was in Goa at the time. it was in the middle of the night and everyone got out of bed in fear, so it must have been a quite severe tremor...

The earth moved for us coincidentally at a very appropriate time maybe 20 years ago - almost certainly this one https://www.theguardian.com/uk/2002/sep/24/davidward No damage but all the doors shook.

Here is that West Brum quake recorded on my seismometers.
Top trace is vertical movement and bottom is horizontal east/west.
Magnitude was 2.8. That's quite large for a UK quake.

Not a lot going on round Brum. Or anywhere here now that I know of. Cuadrilla were told to shut down and seal all their sites (I think Putin promised Boris some gas cheap or something).

20 odd years ago when we lived in Devon, was trying to go to sleep about 1 am I felt a rumbling went on for quite a while and was quite a scarey feeling.  Next day we learned that there had been an earthquake out to sea, only 1. something, a big one must be terrifying.
