'Many people think that on passing through the Mine they are obliged to lay themselves down in the Boat, but this is a great falacy, for Ladies and Gentlemen and sit at their ease, without the slightest inconvenience to themselves in any respect.'

An apparently unrecorded handbill, designed for Derbyshire thrill- seekers, advertising boat tours of the Speedwell Cavern at Castleton; an abandoned lead mine boasting 'a large Cavern, where a Cascade roars like distant thunder' and 'a surprising abyss' which 'according to all human understanding...may be termed a bottomless pit'.
