Biography details

Gilbert Pidcock , zoo director in United Kingdom

.

Later, in the 1790s, the menagerie was owned by Gilbert Pidcock and at Pidcock‘s Menagerie children were given the opportunity to ride a most stupendous male elephant in an apartment that had been specially built to accommodate elephant rides. This elephant arrived 1797 and would also perform Ticks with buckets, coins and handkerchiefs that involved audience participation.

By 1806 Pidcock had owned at least five Indian elephants, sometimes taking one on tour around the country, an operation which involved the construction of a massive caravan drawn by eight powerful horses.
