Grandstand at Belle Vue Gardens, Manchester
Grandstand at Belle Vue Gardens, Manchester - large double grandstand with central bandstand. Belle Vue Zoological Gardens was a large zoo, amusement park, exhibition hall complex, and speedway stadium, which opened in 1836. The brainchild of John Jennison, the gardens were initially intended to be an entertainment for the genteel middle classes, with formal gardens and dancing on open-air platforms during the summer, but they soon became one of the most popular attractions in Northern England
