"Crossing over the low spur of Whernside towards the scars on the eastern side, and about a mile or more from Twisleton Hall, close under the slope of the spur dividing the moorland and limestone plateau, a couple of holes may be seen, neither apparently of great depth; but on close examination the southern end of the north-eastern pot, discloses a deep shaft, thirty-thee feet to the first stopping point - to which we, in fact, descended. A sound of water, like that of a strong stream or waterfall can be heard within, and the total depth ascertained by line was fifty-one feet. A flat stone rests over the deepest portion of the fissure. A few mountain ash and ferns are to be seen above." |
