I
don't remember the year but I think it was in the 50 s. Where exactly was the Ferndown Zoo.? I have a photo of one of my cousins taken with a goat. I really don't remember much about it I just know I went at least three times. Please help

(Not just 1955, probably most of the 1950s.)
When my mother was a little girl, she was looked after by a nanny, who in her later years lived at Fairways, a bungalow at the end of Carroll Avenue. In the 1950s when I was very young, we used to visit what seemed a large bungalow in a very large garden full of pine trees and bracken, where my brother and I used to play while the adults gossiped. Years later, long after Nanny had moved away, probably 1967 or 68, when we went back to see what the place looked like, it was half demolished, and new houses were being built on the site. A sad day for us.
