  • Gough's Old Cave - Its History
    Proc. Univ. Bristol Spelaeol. Soc., [986, 17 (3). 250-266. GOUGH'S OLD CAVE - ITS HISTORY by D. J. IRWIN ABSTRACT During the latter half of lite 19th century Gough's Old Cave was variously known as The Great Stalactite Cavern, The New Great Stalactite Cavern and Gough's Stalactite and Stalagmite Cavern. The cave was probably shown lo visitors from about the late 18th century. It was certainly open for public viewing by 1869 and was then run by John Weeks. The well-known legend of the Jack and Nancy Beauchamp - Gough partnership is now questioned due to the emergence of new documentary evidence. The extensions made in the cave by Gough between 1877 and 1889 are described, together with accounts of visits by travellers and scientific organizations. Rivalry existed between Gough and the Cox brothers, rising to its peak in the late 1880s. The important extensions made in Gough's New Cave between 1892 and 1898 eclipsed the 'Old' cave, which was finally closed to the public in the early 20th century. This paper has been based on contemporary' accounts as far as possible, including newspapers, official documents and travel guides. INTRODUCTION In a previous paper Irwin (1986) quoted the Phelps (1836) account of those caves in the lower reaches of Cheddar Gorge that were known at the beginning of the 19th century. These were situated in or under the 'Ivy Chair' at the entrance to the Gorge in an area known then as Rock- End. All the cave entrances are included in sketches made in 1816 and 1834 by the Rev'd John Skinner.

  • Palaeolithic and Pleistocene Sites of the Mendip, Bath and Bristol Areas
    Proc. Univ. Bristol Spelacol. Soc, 19SlJ, 18(3), 367-389 PALAEOLITHIC AND PLEISTOCENE SITES OF THE MENDIP, BATH AND BRISTOL AREAS RECENT BIBLIOGRAPHY by R. W. MANSFIELD and D. T. DONOVAN Lists of references lo works on the Palaeolithic and Pleistocene of the area were published in these Proceedings in 1954 (vol. 7, no. 1) and 1964 (vol. 10, no. 2). In 1977 (vol. 14, no. 3) these were reprinted, being then out of print, by Hawkins and Tratman who added a list ai' about sixty papers which had come out between 1964 and 1977. The present contribution is an attempt to bring the earlier lists up to date. The 1954 list was intended to include all work before that date, but was very incomplete, as evidenced by the number of older works cited in the later lists, including the present one. In particular, newspaper reports had not been previously included, but are useful for sites such as the Milton Hill (near Wells) bone Fissure, as are a number of references in serials such as the annual reports of the British Association and of the Wells Natural History and Archaeological Society, which are also now noted for the first time. The largest number of new references has been generated by Gough's Cave, Cheddar, which has produced important new material as well as new studies of finds from the older excavations. The original lists covered an area from what is now the northern limit of the County of Avon lo the southern slopes of the Mendips. Hawkins and Tratman extended that area to include the Quaternary Burtle Beds which lie in the Somerset Levels to the south of the Mendips, and these are also included in the present list.

Chris Whale (CSCC Treasurer, UBSS) had indicated that he expected to arrive late; in the event he did not attend. 3. MINUTES OF THE PREVIOUS MEETING There were two amendments: SK said that in light of information received from Jenny Potts (DCA Secretary and former NCA Council Member) he was proposing that Item 7.3 be amended to read (the changes are italicised) “AB said that when he had been a member of the old NCA Council, the NCA had about 360 subscribing Members. Of these 188 were NCA Member Clubs”. After receiving a short explanation from SK the Meeting agreed. AD noted that the Minutes also incorrectly stated that the September Meeting was the AGM. SK apologised for this. The September Minutes will be amended to read Open Meeting and a revised document will be uploaded to the CSCC Website.

Vol. 17 No. 193 EDITORIAL If there is such a thing as a silly season for editorials, then this is it. I have recently moved back to London after changing jobs, and I have also been preparing for a few weeks abroad, all of which has left little time even to think of this padding! There is no 'Mendip News' or 'Club News' in this issue, as activity since the last reports is continuing on much the same lines.
