went to broad road school--every afternoon waiting for the bus from 59 to early 62 we would either stand outside the gardens or walk around it---and i liked all the coaches in the car park-great-great time in life------
I can remember that there was a large, dark, well, filled with water, above which was a sign saying "Giant Water 'Otter". There was a chain to summon this animal; pulling it brought to the surface a very large kettle - the "Giant Water (H)otter" !

My flat is there now and it's amazing to see this video. Thank you
Thanks for viewing!
Thank you for sharing this. I remember visiting as a child in the 1950s.
Thanks for viewing and for sharing your memories!
There was so much more to Wannock Gardens. It was a magical place. I’m still bereft that it’s gone.
I'm pleased to have reminded you of happy times!
Thank you for sharing this. Very nostalgic. I remember going there as a kid in th1960s.
I'm pleased you enjoyed the film - thanks for viewing!
Seems so relaxing, before people had to look at their phone every few minutes.
How right you are!

Yes!!! You're right ! I remember that too! Thanks for reminding me!
My mum talks about that too..... and she then went on to work for Drusillas zoo whom I believe was Captain Anne's invention after Wannock tea gardens
I worked in the still room after school.
Hope the film brought back some happy memories!
