A charming piece of late-1980s
theme park history, this original Chessington World of
Adventures 1988 Souvenir Guide captures the park in its early
years, shortly after its transformation from zoo to theme park.
Chessington had opened as a theme park in 1987, and 1988 saw the
arrival of Black Buccaneer, making this guide an evocative
snapshot of a formative moment in the attraction’s development.
Packed with the sort of period
artwork, maps, photographs and attraction details that
collectors love, this souvenir guide is a nostalgic reminder of
a much-loved British family park at the start of its modern
story. An excellent item for collectors of theme park
memorabilia, Chessington enthusiasts, or anyone interested in
the history of Britain’s leisure attractions.
Condition: Fair. Wear around the
edges of the book, some creasing and slight warping. (Click on image
