Calderpark Zoo, Glasgow, July 2008

[RedDave]

Calderpark Zoo closed five years ago, owing to financial problems. It's now pretty much a ned's playground: lots of grafitti, burnt tyres, etc.

This was my first visit, despite growing up in and around Glasgow.

Good grief, this looks in a terrible state now. Not seen pics from here since Turbozutek did it, I think a couple of years ago. (There was still a tiger living there at that point, even tho it had closed )

Excellent pics, even tho it's in its present state, it still looks like a good explore.

Cheers,

Sal

Nice one. The sign should read 'is there room for neds in the world'

Bloody hell, looks like it closed 25 years ago not 5 years ago! That's chavs for you though.

Pity they couldn't have herded all the neds into the tiger house a couple of years ago. Jesus, even their graffiti is shite.
