Further to that, an extract from
Ged Dodd's web site:
"
July 3rd 1891. Craven Herald - Ingleton's Physical Features No 3 by Rev R. V. Taylor. Two caves have recently been opened on Storrs Common .... Two caves have been recently opened out, and the debris removed to render them available for visitors. The lower cave (Lost Caverns) goes down, down, down by several series of as yet rudely cut steps into still lower regions, it is supposed, about 140 feet below the upper cave. It is narrow, and in some places the rocks approach low enough to compel the visitors to crouch and to endanger the crown of the hat or head unless due care is taken. They are wanting of stalactite formations to make them attractive. "
Ged goes on to say that the caves were sealed off in 1898.
