One of the failure modes

of lath-and-plaster ceilings is that the plaster detaches itself from the lath suddenly.

We now have a 6'x2' (2mx1m) hole in the ceiling over the stairs.

Fortunately nobody was on them at the time, and given the fondness of the cats for lurking there, that's really rather lucky.

Ouch. It could have been so much worse.
