The Manchester Zoological Gardens opened in 1838, on a 15-acre (6 ha) site between Broom Lane and Northumberland Street in Broughton, Salford, England. Attractions included a Grand Menagerie, a lake, a maze, an archery ground, and a series of landscaped walks. The venture was not a commercial success, and closed in 1842. Some of the animals were acquired by John Jennison's Belle Vue Zoo, others went to London Zoo and to Hampton Court.[1]
