The zoo opened the same month as my Dad was born, I wonder if he was taken there as a kid... holidays were usually to the port but he had some relatives lived up in Belfast.

Can you imagine having an elephant in your garden though!!! I suspect it would break out of mine very quickly. I do remember seeing an elephant exercised on the Downs when I was a student.

I remember the zoo from my childhood in the 70's - alas it was pretty bad back then, I gather it's much better now. Funnily, the one thing I really remember, apart from a tiger pacing in a concrete floored cage (and knowing that wasn't good), was the picnic tables. The whole zoo is on the side of a hill, and they hadn't levelled the tables. If you put an apple down, it rolled off...

I don't have a garden, and think even a very baby elephant wouldn't fit in my window box.
