The bear pit in Leeds was a Victorian attraction but became neglected and overgrown after it closed.
It's hoped the restoration project, which is estimated to cost about £100,000, will take about three months to complete once work beginsA derelict 1840s West Yorkshire bear pit could open again - complete with a bear statue - by the end of 2023.
Martin Hamilton, Leeds Civic Trust director, said: "It was the centrepiece of the wider gardens and zoo which occupied land around Cardigan Road, it was a relatively short-lived attraction and obviously animal welfare standards in those days weren't what they are now. Other proposals for the space, including redeveloping the site for office buildings, were never carried forward, the charity said.KS Architects said clearance work will open the site up to visitors, with railings installed around the pit
An information board explaining the history of the pit and the wider gardens would be installed, with hopes the entire project should take about three months to complete once started.
