I'm a friend of the page already!

Great memories of Belle Vue. Not so much the zoo, more the amusement park and the Kings Hall where I used to go and watch the wrestling. Parents also used to take me to the circus every year.

Best copping off place in Manchester in early 70s both day and night, daytime was all the fairs and rollercoasters it was a babe magnet, weekend nights you had the German beer kellar it held about a thousand people, and the bouncers made sure it was half and half, happy days

Hello my Dad is a private collector of Belle Vue Zoo Manchester and has begun to display of some of his collection on his very own Facebook page at the moment before an official website is set up. For anyone that has any memories or pictures or just wants to reminisce, please visit for more information:

Sorry for the plug, I just know that there will be many on here who will be familiar with Belle Vue and it will most likely mean to a lot, to a lot of people.

Thank You!

Nice to see. Out of interest does your father have anything in his collection connected with Manchester Central FC? <a class="postlink" href="http://www.facebook.com/media/set/?set=a.10150108326957816.281355.289818652815&type=3#!/photo.php?fbid=10151105480212816&set=a.10150149901862816.286954.289818652815&type=3&theater" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;">http://www.facebook.com/media/set/?set= ... =3&theater</a> & <a class="postlink" href="http://www.facebook.com/media/set/?set=a.10150108326957816.281355.289818652815&type=3#!/photo.php?fbid=10151105480322816&set=a.10150149901862816.286954.289818652815&type=3&theater" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;">http://www.facebook.com/media/set/?set= ... =3&theater</a>

Thanks for the post, like some of the folks who have commented already brought back thoughts of a happy. Makes you think, if the owners had had the vision could there now be a disney type theme park there today, minus the weather.
Loved the place.
