Anyone else watching the new BBC drama, "Our Zoo?" It's telling the true story of the family who started Chester Zoo in the 1930's. I had one eye on the TV screen...and one eye on the laptop (I'm cross eyed, LOL) when I suddenly recognised where some of the outdoor scenes were filmed....it's Walton Hall, just up the road from us and where we walk Winnie  Fame at last for Cheshire  |

Yes we watched it too, enjoyed it. I for one did not know how Chester Zoo came about. I am just wondering now, if he got into a relationship with Lady what ever they call her. |

Ooohhh...do you think so? Will there be scandal amidst the shrubbery, mischief in the garden....and dirty doings in the animal enclosure?  We shall have to wait and see...  |

I watched it as well @di, I didn't realise that was Walton, I did spot Great Budworth though, neither of them are exactly near Chester Zoo though are they! I was reading a review of it today which said it's not exactly the 'real' story in that his parents ran a garden nursery not a corner shop & he'd always collected animals since childhood & had had a small 'zoo' in Crewe, still it makes a good story & is interesting to see how it all began. We used to sponsor a tarantula at Chester Zoo, I think that's how they started off raising extra money for the zoo in the beginning too. |

Well you're both more observant than me SueA and Sweetpea I missed Great Budworth, but thought I saw a camel...."should have gone To Spec-Savers" as our old friend Sooty would have said... |
