Bell Vue Zoo and Fair in Manchester. Does anyone remember it?

I remember the wall of death and also the caterpillar, a bit like the speedway ride but with a covering over the top.

I remember the Zoo. I don't remember very of when it was open but the dinosaur and the entrance to the zoo was there for years after it closed. 

 

Here are a couple of old film from back in the day

I was taken a few times in the 60s. I can remember having a ride on a elephant and a big cat peeing through the bars all over a man.
