EDITORS COMMENTS
In this heartwarming photo print, we are transported back to the 1960s, a time when George Mottershead, the esteemed Director of Chester Zoo, proudly embraces his role as a grandfather. Standing in front of the newly opened Tropical House on June 15th, 1964, George is captured holding his adorable nine-month-old granddaughter Elizabeth Williams. The image exudes warmth and tenderness as George gazes down at little Elizabeth with an unmistakable look of love and pride in his eyes. The juxtaposition of this gentle moment against the backdrop of exotic animals within the zoo creates a unique atmosphere that showcases both family bonds and George's lifelong dedication to wildlife conservation. As one of the pioneers in revolutionizing zoos by introducing open enclosures for animals instead of cages, George Mottershead played a pivotal role in transforming Chester Zoo into what it is today - a world-renowned institution committed to education and animal welfare. This photograph not only captures a personal milestone for George but also serves as a testament to his unwavering passion for nature and nurturing future generations' appreciation for wildlife. It reminds us that behind every successful endeavor lies individuals who pour their hearts into making positive change happen. Preserved by Liverpool Post and Echo Archive through Memory Lane Prints, this snapshot offers us an intimate glimpse into an extraordinary man's life while celebrating the joyous bond between grandparent and grandchild amidst nature's wonders.
