has anybody got pictures of the african + asian elephant enclosures before the opening of the casson pavillion? (until the opening of casson, they were both kept separate, one roughly where the roundhouse is now, and another before the mappins if i'm correct?)

The elephant enclosure in the picture was roughly were the Clore Pavilion is now

As I remember this enclosure, as a very small child in the late 1950s / early 1960s, both African and Asiatic elephants were kept here.
 
so what about the elephant enclosure behind the mappins?, but thanks for the info tim:)

I personally do not remember elephants kept behind the Mappin Terraces, but there were buildings there and I believe that one of them, the old Tapir House, was used for temporary elephant accommodation at times.
