Cullingford "British Caving" 1953: reference sought

Please does anyone have access to C.H.D.Cullingford (ed.) "British caving: an introduction to speleology", 1st ed., London, 1953 ?

I am seeking the page range of the chapter "Caverns in mines" by N.Kirkham, and also the page number(s) that the following extract occurs on (its about two pages from the start of the chapter): the extract commences: "In Golconda, in modern times, a miner broke into an old working..." and ends a few sentences later: "...gunpowder was only being introduced into Derbyshire mines about that time".

Whilst I have access to the second edition (1962), I wish to cite the first edition.

I am aware that this account has been refuted by Slack, 2003; I still have need to mention it however.

Many thanks in anticipation of help!

The chapter is pp136-143
Golconda starts to be mentioned at the bottom of page 137, but your quote sits near the top of page 138.
