Worked there around 1964 in the basement, I only worked Saturdays but was responsible for model railway section and I had a ball, operating the trains along a well constructed track layout.
Happy times the 60's , the 50's too, the days of Belle Vue Speedway, the circus, fun fair and zoo, the the boating lake, ten pin bowling and Top Ten Club.... even Greyhound Racing......it really was the world's first major theme park! I lived around the corner on Peel Grove, Longsight. Magical.
