Christopher Grice

I began my career at the age of 16 at Dudley zoo an July 1974 and left in 1979 due to ill health. I started on the Bear ravine section, moved to giraffe section and moved to the ape house a year or so before leaving. My wage on starting work was £10 per week for a 44 hour week in the winter and upto 64 hours in the summer. I did not pay tax as I didn't earn enough to do so.
My avitar is is from 2017; celebrating my marriage to Gordon, aided by our friend Amanda who sadly passed the following year at the age of 24. She was so in touch will nature and we will miss so much.
