We visited Chatham Library where we saw a Belle Vue archive, this consisted of newspaper cuttings about the events that took place there, photographs of celebratory visitors, and also photographs of the animals of Belle Vue zoo and circus.
Above is a birds eye view of Belle Vue
Consul the Belle Vue chimpanzee was a huge attraction as he smoked a pipe and drank beer daily.
Above- this image really interests me and makes me wonder who the 'STRANGE GIRLS' were? Whether they were 'CIRCUS FREAKS' for example. I like the idea of 'CIRCUS FREAKS'.
I love this picture of a clown.
