There was a loony who tried to jump out and scare me, but I saw him creeping on us and me being 6' 2", he wisely chose another victim :P<br />The local tourist peeps may not have liked it, but it was very well presented, and had some great content. Probably not highbrow enough for the liberal elite that populate the area nowadays :(xrayman2k4https://www.blogger.com/profile/13126820145243848457noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5650740727684370946.post-59605712137947417222023-02-04T21:50:22.041+00:002023-02-04T21:50:22.041+00:00I moved to HB in 1989 and was definitely still ope...I moved to HB in 1989 and was definitely still open then, I’m sure I visited multiple times up to about the age of 12 so I’d say it closed around 92 Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5650740727684370946.post-29863005545522663032021-11-02T20:29:59.633+00:002021-11-02T20:29:59.633+00:00I really enjoyed your blog, thanks for sharingI really enjoyed your blog, thanks for sharingToms Recipeshttps://www.recipetom.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5650740727684370946.post-38054296333275067842021-08-13T18:08:48.857+01:002021-08-13T18:08:48.857+01:00I can remember going here with my mum and sister, ...I can remember going here with my mum and sister, I would have been 6 if it closed 30 years ago, I was definitely older than that when I last went, it's such a shame it's closed would have loved to take my sons and I know my stepdaughter would have been amazed, she loves spooky stuff! I can remember being chased screaming by what I thought was a statue of a vampire!

I have vague memories of this if it’s the same place… things would jump out at you, there was a sunny thing that leapt out of bed when you walked into the room and a cafe at the end?<br />Can someone confirm I’m thinking of the same place?<br />If so, I’ll second that other comment, it didn’t close in 88, because I was born in 89 and remember (very vaguely) busting with my parents in the early 90s. My sister and I were terrified and the staff in the cafe had to watch us until the rest of the family had finished walking round.<br />Would love to see some picturesHannahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09905407631856901434noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5650740727684370946.post-72802727837888828652021-03-01T20:09:35.217+00:002021-03-01T20:09:35.217+00:00Great place brings back some brill childhood memor...Great place brings back some brill childhood memories.the lurker who used to jump out on you when the lifts went out.was sad to see it close cheap family funStu melhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07072972745961935888noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5650740727684370946.post-13593719300000061342019-12-13T14:41:35.866+00:002019-12-13T14:41:35.866+00:00Agreed, I was gutted when I released id missed out...Agreed, I was gutted when I released id missed out! :(Arfon Joneshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08538971075550919385noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5650740727684370946.post-11714667209948819432019-12-12T20:16:52.010+00:002019-12-12T20:16:52.010+00:00I and my family visited hebden crypt in the 80s fa...I and my family visited hebden crypt in the 80s fantastic place to visit and see the steps and climb them they scared the pan<br /><br />ts off me sorry to hear they closed it would be a must to visit Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17616047686301220596noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5650740727684370946.post-16371093144946155112019-11-10T12:43:50.073+00:002019-11-10T12:43:50.073+00:00Hi, that's fantastic!
