I used to love going to the children’s zoo at Southport as a child in the 1950s, when I was about the same age as the little girls seen in this view. The baby goats were my favourite animals there. I remember we had a family scene once, when I wanted to take one home with me. My mother and father couldn’t make me understand that I wasn’t allowed to, and I had a little girl’s paddy about it. I’m afraid there were lots of tears before bedtime that day…!
