More about this scene
A pre-Tower picture. Featured here are Dr W H Cocker's aquarium, menagerie and aviary, which occupied the site where the Tower now stands. The menagerie was retained as a Tower attraction, but it also gained fame as the setting for Stanley Holloway's monologue about young Albert Ramsbottom and the 'to do' when Albert was eaten by the menagerie lion.
