Chessington Zoo is 75 years old this year. Chessington World of Adventures (as it is now) have done a few bits and pieces to celebrate the event.
Sign over the Main Entrance
Some information boards around the park
An exhibition is on in Market Square Showhouse
Circus acts and entertainers from the 1930s
There was a display for each decade featuring photos of the zoo during that period
I remember when the entrance looked like this!
