High Days And Holidays

Zoo Park c1950
Enlarge photo |  More about this photo

We were taken from Leicester on a Sunday School Outing to the Zoo Park. I have very little recollection of the place as I was quite little at the time! I do remember that we were given 'high tea' for which we were offered a choice of fish and chips or ham salad. I also remember being bought an embroidered badge which had on it a picture of a tiger with Wellingborough Zoo Park emblazoned across the top. It was only recently, as my work takes me into Wellingborough quite frequently, that it came to mind. I wonder when it closed down and where in the town it was situated.

it is located in the town centre behind the council offices, if you can cross the brook, behind 7 Doddington Road, the penguin pool still remains till this very day.
