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.
Victoria Cave is now part of NORTH YORKSHIRE Unitary Authority. Click here for graphs and data of how NORTH YORKSHIRE has changed over two centuries. For statistics about Victoria Cave itself, go to Statistics.
