The final story is told of one of
Manchester's greatest ever attractions, the Belle Vue Zoological Gardens. Why not enjoy
another day out at Belle Vue and have a look at the Bobs, the Floral Clock, Ghost Train,
Caterpillar or perhaps go to a show. Listen to the brass bands or watch the spectacular
fireworks displays. Maybe a walk around the zoo, the sea lion house, the giraffe
enclosure, the Tigon. You could go and watch the speedway or have a game of bowling. There
was so much to do in the Showground of the World.This
video is the third in the series chronicling the history of the Belle Vue zoo and
amusement park, and tells the story of the later years of the complex and its final
decline.
