- "Examine historical cave - Mrs. Cyril McCaig (left), and Mrs. Ian Leask examine the superb craft[s]manship which produced this brewer's cave about 10 feet below the ground on Sunset Drive near the base of the Farley Hill. The cave was discovered several years ago by Mr. McCaig, owner of the property." (53a)
- "Entrance to a dungeon? - The heavy stone entrance to the underground room is typical of the arched construction throughout the entire 15-foot by 25-foot structure. Located on the site of a brewery which operated in the 1850s, the cave is believed to have been used for the storage of beer." (53b)
