Sir Robert Peel looks out from the north end of Woodhouse Moor, across Hyde Park Road towards Wrangthorne Church. (Sorry I haven't got his face - with a low winter sun behind him it was not possible!) Robert Peel died in an accident in 1850, and 26 statues of him were erected around Britain. This was the first, and also claims 2 other firsts, the first bronze figure in Britain that was cast in one piece, and the first dressed as his contemporaries would have known him, rather than in Greek or Roman drapes.

The Bear Pit is all that remains of the Leeds Zoological and Botanical Gardens, a not very successful Victorian venture. It was built in 1840, and the bears were displayed in a circular pit on the far side of this wall. The public viewed them from the tops of the turrets, one of which has a spiral staircase (the other probably had one as well.) The Leeds Civic Trust restored it in 1966.

Now the Diocesan Pastoral Centre for the Catholic Diocese of Leeds. It was originally built in the 19th century as a Wesleyan College and later taken over by the Little Sisters of the Poor.
