First Part Of Dudley Zoo


Dudley Zoo

Dudley Zoological Gardens is a 40-acre (16 ha) zoo located within the grounds of Dudley Castle in the town of Dudley, in the Black Country region of the West Midlands, England. The Dudley Zoological Society was founded in 1935, and the Zoological Gardens opened to the public on 18 May 1937. (Wikipedia)

In January 2013, newly released construction proposals indicate the entrance to the zoo will connect with the Black Country Museum and the Dudley Canal Trust, creating a single entrance for the three attractions. If the proposals are approved, construction will begin on a new shop in late 2013 and work for the entrance will be completed by spring 2014. Focus will then shift to the bear pits, which zoo officials say will be renovated to provide “a dramatic backdrop in the landscape" (Wikipedia)
