Bear Pit, Botanical Gardens, Sheffield 11
Set into Birch Hill, the highest part of the botanical gardens, this is a view of the rim of the bear baiting pit. The pit ceased to be used for entertainment purposes in the 1870s after a curious child fell into it and was fatally injured by the two resident bears.
