Leeds zoo

Hi everybody

Firstly thanks to Si for his intriguing images of subterranean Hyde Park. I love stuff like that. I have posted a comment to you Si so please keep in touch.

Also thanks to the anonymous person who left the comment. I will indeed check out this place.

I have another site to share with everybody thanks to Kevin McGowan who was a student at Leeds uni and who will be showing me round LS6 next weekend. The site: http://www.secretleeds.com/forum/Messages.aspx?ThreadID=114&StartAtMessage=0&#665

is an interesting mix of images and info about Leeds. I think the info about the bear pit is particularly interesting and lets be honest rather shameful by modern day standards.

Please check it out and let me know what you think

Have fun

Helen

I used to walk past that bear pit all the time and eventually went to read the sign and discovered what it was. Yes, it's rather gruesome but interesting to read more about it.

Thanks you for the link to the 'Secret Leeds' site too. I will have a proper browse as there might be other gems on there!

I dusted off my fmp website and uploaded it for a browse just for you http://www.supanaught.com/tempfiles/fmp.html

I will apologise in advance for its top heavy word count and also if any links dont work now, if there are any sites particularly youre interested in, let me know and ill supply some more photos. Even the tunnel hunters over at secret leeds havent been where i have :)

Dear Si,

I was in Hyde Park last weekend. I am fascinated about the bunker, but can't work out where it is. Is it a secret? I don't think I fancy exploring it but it does fire my imagination. Thanks for the website it was very interesting and just a little mysterious....
