Alan Coase Photo Gallery
The late Alan Coase was a leading contributor to the scientific study and
exploration of the cave in the 1960s. This was an exciting period with the
passing of the Long Crawl and the discovery of the spectacular passages beyond.
These pictures date mostly from that period and show many of the people involved
and the techniques in use at the time.
Sadly, a number of the slides were in poor condition and restoration work is
needed on the scanned images. They are reproduced here "as is" whilst this work
is in hand.
