Descriptive gazetteer entries

In 1887, John Bartholomew's Gazetteer of the British Isles described Victoria Cave like this:

Victoria Cave, 2 miles N. of Settle, N. div. West-Riding Yorkshire, in the face of the cliff, 900 ft. above the Ribble; large deposits of bones of elephant, hyfna, bear, rhinoceros, &c., with bronze and bone implements, coins, and pottery, have been found in this cave, which was discovered in 1837.

This is the only descriptive gazetter entry we have found, but you may be able to find further references to Victoria Cave by doing a full-text search here.
