Background

Visiting

On a building opposite Knaresborough bus station there is an animal themed mural which covers the first and second floor windows. It is titled Zoo and was painted by Julie Cope in 2007. The mural shows a zebra and a giraffe but it is unclear if these species were ever found at Knaresborough Zoo as there are no photographs or public records to evidence this. The artwork was funded by three different councils which were Knaresborough Town Council, Harrogate Borough Council and the Arts Council and is part of a series of windows that tell the history of Knaresborough town.
