Cavern Disaster at Pen Park Hole Described in Detail
A Bristol letter recounts the Pen Park Hole tragedy where Mr Newman fell while exploring a cave system. It details three surface openings, a perilous descent, a vast subterranean pool, and debates whether the cavern is natural or worked. The piece also notes the public’s curiosity and the fallen man’s church duties the day of the incident.
