Quote from: Raven on May 10, 2026, 02:51:30 PMThose horses were great, we had one with the big bow rockers when my sisters and I were growing up. They didn't bother with it as they got older but I still loved old Dobin even when I was a teenager. He sat in the big hall of the house and I would sit on him rocking gently and read.He's beautiful .
When we moved house my mother, who knew how much I loved Dobin waited untill I was at school before she had it taken to the sale rooms, it broke my heart when I realised what had happened, it also altered my relationship with her, I've never to this day forgiven her, I would never have gotten rid of Dobin and would have him to this day, also my own two would have loved playing with him as well.
This is is what he looked like.

Their claim to fame was being the home of the PG Tips chimps. I think they lived in with the owners of the place.I've never been to Twycross either. Yes, I remember those PG chimps on telly.

It opened in the late 1940's I think, but got shut down in 1970 because the RSPCA reported animal welfare issues.
I never did go there and see it though.
