Zeimusu - the state you reverted was a work-in-progress state. I decided that there was no point in pretending that it was anything other than a straight quuote from an ancient source and so I would revert it to exactly the original wording with piped Wikilinks. (The moral to me is - use my personal sandbox until I am ready to post it all in one go!) -- RHaworth 20:14, 2005 July 12 (UTC)

VfD
Straight quotes from anywhere, even public domain sources, are not Wiki style. But the real problem is that I can find no evidence for the Devil's Hole anywhere on the web - apart from the Project Gutenberg source and this article.

It is too charming to delete but unless some hard evidence is forthcoming, I shall feel moved to transfer it to Talk:Kirkby Stephen. (Zeimusu, surprised to find you still watching this after 6 months.) -- RHaworth 15:36, 2005 July 12 (UTC)

Cracked it!
It is Stenkrith (or Stenkreth) Bridge - google search with plenty of good hits -. It is south of Kirkby Stephen not east and it is on the Eden itself not a tributary.

This article has a good description - look for section 12. or search for "Angel". (If you search for "Devil" you will get a false hit on a completely different "Devil's Hole" before you get to this one.) It calls this one the "Devil's Grinding Mill". -- RHaworth 20:14, 2005 July 12 (UTC)


 * Nice catch, I'll try putting it in the article.Zeimusu | (Talk page) 13:44, July 26, 2005 (UTC)

(Only watching because I'm too lazy to tidy up my watchlist.)
