Description

The cave is named for Captain Willis who made such a contribution in the Twelfth Siege of Gibraltar in 1704-5 that this cave was (probably) named for him. He did give his name to Willis' Road, Willis' Battery (now Princess Royal's Battery), Magazine and Guard.[2]

gollark: The justification was some bullying last year which happened to involve phones... clearly this is the appropriate response.
gollark: My school, in its infinite wisdom, has banned phones during lunch/break.
gollark: I mean, they're exempt from minimum wage...
