England - Westcliff - 60s mother and 5 year-old boy at London zoo

A mother holds the hand of her 5 year-old son during a visit to London zoo in the early 1960s. Looking frightened and upset, the small lad walks hand in hand with his mum, away from where there are scary wild animals in cages but still a frightening experience to a little person. The mother is smartly-dresed for the family day out to the capital and its zoo in Regents Park. It was was recorded on film camera by the boy's father, an amateur photographer in 1962. The picture shows us a memory of nostalgia in an era from the last century.
