Looks a great day out for all the family and it's 'FREE' to get in with loads to do 
They have a dog section and history really looking forward to checking this place out

Little info off there website..............
Bulldog This 1800s breed is descended from the dogs used in bull-bating contests, a sport made illegal in 1835. Its short and slightly deformed body was exaggerated by early breeders to produce the present-day look. These two specimens were both prize-winners in the early 1900s. There are over 80 domestic dogs on display.
Big Thanks to Owen and Jess for pointing me in this direction
