It's very likely he did see an elephant beng walked up and down the prom. Circuses have been visiting New Brighton for years - the keepers would take elephants out walking as an advertisement stunt.

New Brighton had its own circus for many years and it was going strong in the 50's. Situated where the bowling alley is now. There are photo's of it on the reflections site and I vaguely remember it.
