This film features the entrance of Victoria Cave, near Settle in the Yorkshire Dales. A man is standing near the entrance on a boulder. He has a jackhammer which is used to break away some of the rock. At a lower point near the entrance, four cavers are using archaeological equipment to sift through the rubble and debris.
