As far as German zoos goes, i can imagine that Dresden Zoo took quite a beating. And I know that Rostock suffered as well.

Chester Zoo's elephant house was built on the cheap from huge concrete road blocks collected from around the area once the war was over. The zoo itself didn't sustain any damage in the war, it was pretty small at that time anyway

Weren't some of the other older enclosures at Chester, like the Bears and Tropical House, also constructed partially from the same materials?

Hi Pertinax
I think the old bear pits opposite the sealions might have been (where the S American garden is now). The tropical house didn't go up until the sixties, and I don't think it used the same materials. |

I think one or two of them can still be seen in the wall of 'Europe on the Edge' aviary (which used to be part of the polar bear enclosure) on the other side of the path from the tigers. Alan

This picture shows the road blocks in the sun bear enclosure (now housing the yellow mongooses). There are also some blocks visible at the lion enclosure.
