13 photos of Lambton Lion Park - what are your memories?

Lambton Lion Park attracted thousands of visitors eager to see the variety of African and Asian wildlife between 1972 and 1980.

Almost 40 years on, we take a walk down memory lane to the days when giraffes and elephants roamed in the Earl of Durham’s estate.
