EDITORS COMMENTS
Step right up, ladies and gentlemen, and prepare to be entertained at the Chessington Zoo & Circus, located at Burnt Stub in Surrey during the 1940s. This programme cover, dated 1945, invites us to an afternoon of excitement and wonder, where the magic of the circus and the wonders of the animal kingdom come together. At the heart of the scene is none other than the charismatic ringmaster, Oliver Cromwell, proudly standing before an audience of delighted spectators. Surrounding him are a menagerie of intriguing animals, including a mischievous chimpanzee named Queen Elizabeth, ready to entertain the crowd with her acrobatic feats. The programme cover, expertly captured by the talented Terry Parker, transports us back in time to a simpler era, where a twopence admission fee granted access to a world of thrills and adventure. The vibrant colors and playful expressions on the faces of both the performers and the animals create a sense of joy and enchantment that resonates with us even today. As we take in the details of this image, we can almost hear the sound of the calliope and the laughter of the crowd. The Chessington Zoo & Circus at Burnt Stub in Surrey, as depicted in this programme cover, offers a glimpse into the past, a time when the magic of the circus and the beauty of the animal kingdom came together to create unforgettable memories.
