Join me on my merry trek of old ruins, cinemas, railways and things that just catch my attention around Yorkshire and the UK. John.

Bear Pit, Leeds Zoological and Botanical Gardens

View this post on Instagram

Nineteenth century bear pit 🐻 at Leeds Zoological and Botanical Gardens which opened in 1840 and closed in1848 (although it reopened as just gardens until 1858) 🌺🌹🌼 About 8m diameter and 3m deep, didn't fancy going down there with the vertical brick sides and only brambles providing any way out #bearpit #leedszoo #urbex #brambles #castellations #derelictzoo #abandonedzoo #architecturalheritage #overgrown #headingley #leeds #leedszoologicalandbotanicalgardens
