blackpool zoo
Blackpool
Zoo was the first location for a Grand Ghost Tour not held at the Grand
Theatre. The zoo, which opened on 6 July 1972, has quite a history of
paranormal activities occurring; and that is not surprising when you look at
the background of the buildings and the land it was built on!
It was constructed on the former site of the original Blackpool Municipal
Aerodrome, which was built in 1929 and opened in 1931. The aerodrome became
the Stanley Park Aerodrome In 1939 and when World War II broke out, on 3
September of that year, the RAF requisitioned the aerodrome. Originally
there was an air traffic control building and one hangar, however an
additional four hangars were built where Wellington bombers were assembled
and flown from during the war years. When the war finished the aerodrome
closed and was never used for flying again.
Many of the original aerodrome buildings and hangers are still standing; the A-Zoo nursery and keepers flats are housed in the old air traffic control building with the hangars being used to house the elephants, for food storage, quarantine and maintenance of the zoo site itself.
