Sunbridge Wells
Sunbridge Wells is a leisure and shopping facility and tourist attraction built in tunnels in Bradford, West Yorkshire, England, which was opened in 2016 after a delay.
The tunnels where the leisure and shopping facility is now was a quarry in the thirteenth century. It was also used as prison cells and during the Second World War was used as an air raid shelter. In the 1960s it was a location for dancing. This was when The Little Fat Black Pussycat nightclub was based there - it was owned by the wrestler Shirley Crabtree who was known as Big Daddy.
The unusual underground development involved the removal of hundreds of tonnes of rubble and it cost £1.9 million to develop and it includes bars and shops. It had originally had a budget of £1 million but this was nearly doubled when the internal area was increased to 24,000 square feet. The stairwells and corridors are decorated in a Victorian style with displays by the Bradford Museums and Art Galleries.
The leisure and shopping facility was opened by the developers parents on 9 December 2016. A further extension to Sunbridge Wells the Rose and Crown craft beer pub has opened and a steak house is planned to open later in 2017.
