More about this scene
Chester Zoo was founded in 1934, and a number of animals were brought here for safety during the Second World War, including Molly. She was looked after by an Indian mahout, and in those days, before the zoo had the proper boundary fences that it has today, he was regularly to be seen taking Molly for walks in the surrounding area.
