Early in the nineteenth century young Jane Riley, disappointed by love-losed with the dashing Joseph Rousseau, stood at the top of a steep cliff above the thundering Albion Falls and flung herself to the bottom 100 feet below.
The drop has since been dubbed "Lovers' Leap" and many mentions of the suicide have popped up over the decades. Such as a poem written by a certain Slater at the time:
- Alas, poor Jane Riley,
- for Joseph she did die
- By jumping off that dizzy brink
- full sixty cubits high
This is also the site where the body of John Dick was found after being killed by his wife Evelyn Dick.
