Do you have an idea which enclosure cuddles was located?

As you stand looking towards the castle from the bridge over the moat, the old Killer Whale enclosure comprised the right-hand portion of the current sealion enclosure.

Er Dave, the Killer Whale pool was on the left as you faced the castle, the Dolphin pool was on the right - as per the map I have posted.

Yep, my mistake - I was reading the map incorrectly and 28 and 29 got swapped in my head :p

I should also have mentioned "as Brum described on the other photo" - sorry Brum. The book "Dolphins - Kings of the sea" has some good photographs of Cuddles being moved into the pool (I think John Dineley may have them on his site too) with David Taylor and Don Robinson in attendance.
