Sorry to ruin it for you, but these were actually housing area's for the water pumps that supplied the fountains.

Leelad - keep an eye on the Wiki Walks thread. We went out to Eastham last year. It's the type of place we tend to take a wander around and you may be interested

If you go into the Ranger's Centre, there's a big display on the wall with history and old photos.

hi all, i lived in eastham for over 20 years, and i'm quite familiar with the old zoo sites. there are many theories and opinions about the relics, but anyone actually know what happened to the animals, where did they go? what happened to the gates and the archway entrance to the gardens (to the left of the eastham ferry hotel carpark).?
