Scope note(s)

  • The semicircular area across the Outer Circle from the Main Gate was laid out by Decimus Burton in 1830-31 as a carriage sweep. From at least the mid 19th century there was an exit only turnstile leading into the centre of this area. The semicircle came into use as the Zoo's car park around 1920 and the exit remained in use until much later. A relic of the exit survives in the form of a two-bay iron pergola that adjoined the turnstile to the north.
