EDITORS COMMENTS
Captured in a nostalgic moment, this vintage print showcases the charismatic Palmer twins, George and Hugh, who were the proud owners of Barry Zoo back in 1975. Nestled within the picturesque Vale of Glamorgan in Wales, their zoo was officially known as Cardiff Zoo but affectionately referred to as Barry Zoo by locals. In this image, the brothers stand side by side with an air of confidence and passion for their beloved reptilian residents. Surrounded by a collection of slithering serpents, they exude an undeniable bond that only identical twins possess. Their matching facial hair adds to their striking resemblance and leaves no doubt about their shared genetics. The snakes themselves seem at ease under the watchful eyes of these dedicated siblings. It is evident that George and Hugh's commitment to animal welfare extended beyond mere entertainment; it was a genuine love affair with nature's most enigmatic creatures. Transporting us back to a simpler time when zoos were cherished community attractions, this photograph evokes feelings of nostalgia and wonderment. It serves as a testament to the dedication and vision displayed by these Welsh brothers who brought joy and education to countless visitors through their wildlife sanctuary. Preserved through Memory Lane Prints, this snapshot offers us a glimpse into an era where family-run establishments like Barry Zoo held immense importance in our collective memories.
