Maidstone Zoo
I remember as a child going to Maidstone Zoo on the bus from Sittingbourne with my parents. We did this about once a year - I think it was always on a Sunday. I was born in 1951 so don't remember the early 1950s. What I'm having trouble with is trying to locate where it was, and also what is there now in its place. I also remembered the smell of it, which was not very nice, especially in the long hot summers. The trouble is that people I speak to about it don't seem to know anything about there ever being a zoo there. So maybe there is someone out there who can enlighten me as to what stands in place of it now, and is there a plaque to say it once stood there?

I think the Elephant House still stands, and can be reached by the park.
Somewhere in the past I remember something about a wartime visit by Laurel and Hardy, but I can't find any reference to it at the moment.
