Gatwick Zoo is no longer in operation and does not exist. It closed down and the land was used for a housing estate, farmland/open country.
The zoo began as a hobby for Mr Thorpe and his wife Sheila in their back garden and has gradually evolved over the last 30 years.
The collection of small mammals and birds – which have all been found new homes – was first opened to the public in 1974. The zoo closed in 2002.
