There was a zoo in Kensington on Butler Street.
Butler Street school (now New Park) was built on that site in Victorian times.
A relative of mine remembers when the gorilla escaped and had to be shot
Stumbled across this strange picture and caption in the depths of the BBC's website:
This motorist found himself in trouble in his Hillman Minx. Help was at hand when Monica, the elephant at Liverpool Zoo, was drafted in to help.

Hi Howie,
I don't know of one, but that doesn't mean it wasn't there! The ones I know about were all in Wavertree/Kensington, the city centre and Aigburth way, nothing in the north. But who told you? and do they have any more info? like when it was meant to be there? Most of the info I have is up to the 1930s. I haven't done as much research into the Liverpool zoos as I'd like (in fact very little so far), but I haven't come across any mentions of a Walton zoo (yet).
Hope that's of help, and any more info would be interesting!
Hannah.

I heard that there was a zoological gardens in Liverpool in Victorian times. It was up by Gregson's Well - I think it was on those gardens opposite it (can't remember the name) that you could walk through to get to Mill Road Hospital - at the end of West Derby Road, opposite the old Register Office, by the Grafton - you know where I mean. Never heard of one in Walton though.
there are still the gates for Liverpool Zoo next to the Plough pub Rice Lane,I think its a florest now
