Yes Phil, that's my guess.

As I am rubbish at W&Ws I can safely know that I won't be giving the correct answer with Claypit (as in Claypit Lane). At least that can now be ruled out if others are trying to guess.

Hi The Parksider.I've cheated here as I have clicked on the Bear Pit link in Phill's and BarFly's posts and noticed that it "opened in 1840 for the Leeds Zoological and Botanical Gardens" so that sounds a very likely answer to me.

Good thought Joggers but did you not see Leo's post above yours.Leo wins the virtual ceegar as the formal answer was going to be the Leeds Zoological and botanical Gardens.However Leo's self admission of cheating means the cigar is withdrawn. Onto No. 5.
