Crypt halts work, solves old mystery

The Advertiser: Crypt halts work, solves old mystery [15jun05]:

"The unmarked crypt holds three lead-lined coffins and is the resting place of affluent 19th-century landowner and ironmonger Edward Drew, his sister, Sophia, and her husband, Highfield Estate owner Joseph Dauncey."

This was on the news last night and the pictures were rather odd. The crypt really was very deep into the earth and the road appeared to have gone over it. The older residents appeared quite pleased and delighted that the mystery appeared to be solved because everyone knew about it. The excavations had appeared to have disturbed the coffins and one person thought they needed to be left there because it was their burial place, their tomb. In any case the residents will have to wait with all the excavation work around them until the legality of all of this has been resolved. It is just odd how they were so deep into the earth and how the cells were so strongly built. People have tried before to find the lost three. No wonder they couldn't find them! Adelaide had always been a curious place like that. There is supposed to be a sink hole around North Adelaide somewhere wher people used to go and swim in the early 1900s. It appears to be gone and no one now seems to know about it.
