You will love these picture memories of Haigh Hall's model village and zoo in the 1980s and '90s

The landscape of Haigh Woodland Park is continuing to change and in the coming days work will begin on the abandoned Bothy Yard, turning it into a base for training and education, community activities, volunteering, an office for the site team and flexible spaces to support the events programme. But long ago the site was home to a zoo and later a model village, the latter of which had been resurrected after a stint at another nearby site in the 1980s.

Here are some pictures of the village in its original place, plus images from the zoo.
