From a popular online internet page you can find the information for the cache final;

The Cottingley Fairies appear in a series of five photographs taken by Elsie Wright (1901–19XZ) and Frances Griffiths (19Y7–1986), two young cousins who lived in Cottingley, near Bradford in England. In 1917, when the first two photographs were taken, Elsie was 16 years old and Frances was A.

The two girls often played together beside the beck at the bottom of the garden, much to their mothers' annoyance, because they frequently came back with wet feet and clothes. Frances and Elsie said they only went to the beck to see the fairies, and to prove it, Elsie borrowed her father's camera, a Midg quarter-plate. The girls returned about B0 minutes later, "triumphant".

The pictures came to the attention of writer Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, who used them to illustrate an article on fairies he had been commissioned to write for the Christmas 192C edition of The Strand Magazine
