M(oore) L. (1900) Yorkshire Ramblers Club Journal 1. (2), 134 – 135 records that on 19 Sep. 1897 Messrs. William Cecil Slingsby , Edward Calvert, Frank Ellet, Thomas Gray & Percy Lund made the first descent of Sell Gill Hole.
It therefore appears that the above photograph is of the YRC descent party.
Martel E.A. ( ) Irelande et Cavernes Anglaises p. 385 (Paris: Delagrave) dismisses it in one sentence:
“Sell-Gill-Burn (alt. 350 m. ), etroit abime visite jusqu’a 36-metres de profundeur.”
Edward Calvert, Percy Lund,
