The action was carried out by the infamous Jayhawker, Charles " Doc " Jennison.

Jennison set out a small amusements area in Belle Vue during the 1870s, which was expanded in the early 20th century to become what was advertised as the " showground of the world ".

In December, Jennison signed a 99-year lease at a rent of £ 135 per annum.

To finance further expansion, Jennison re-mortgaged the site for £ 800.

After his death in 1919, the remaining family members created John Jennison & Co Ltd with a capital of £ 253, 000, comprising investments and loans totalling £ 63, 000.

When Charles Jennison, one of the territorial-era jayhawkers, was authorized to raise a regiment of cavalry to serve in the Union army, he characterized the unit as the " Independent Kansas Jay-Hawkers " on a recruiting poster.

The jayhawker term was applied not only to Jennison and his command, but to any Kansas troops engaged in predatory operations against the civilian population of western Missouri, in which the plundering and arson that characterized the territorial struggles were repeated, but on a much larger scale.

The brainchild of John Jennison, the gardens were initially intended to be an entertainment for the genteel middle classes, with formal gardens and dancing on open-air platforms during the summer, but they soon became one of the most popular attractions in Northern England.

In 1828 or ' 29, Jennison purchased an adjacent of land on which he and his wife built an aviary, to which they charged admission ; its first occupant was a captured thrush.

The gardens were an immediate success, but the neighbouring St James's Church was offended that they were open on Sundays, and asked Jennison to close while services were being conducted ; he " politely but firmly refused ".

For a time, Jennison sent carriages to the railway station to collect the first class passengers, but he also abandoned the idea of subscription tickets, settling instead on a general admission price of 4d, rising to 6d in 1851.

Although the gardens thrived in their early years, by 1842 Jennison was in financial difficulties, and on 13 December bankruptcy proceedings were initiated.

The four-year old chimpanzee, Consul, was dressed in a smoking jacket and cap and puffed on a cob pipe ; he frequently accompanied James Jennison to business meetings.

At daybreak on the 23rd, Blunt opened the battle by sending Jennison and Ford over an icy Brush Creek with their skirmishers.

He married his first wife, Lucia Ann Jennison, daughter of Dr. Charles Jennison and Betsy Mahan, on August 27, 1845 and had three children together.

Jennison saw greater potential for his technique in radio interferometry, and proposed that it should be tested on a three-element radio interferometer at Jodrell Bank.

Roger Clifton Jennison's interest in the arts may have been stimulated by his father, George Robert Jennison, who was a well known portrait painter in his home town of Grimsby and whose work is still on display in Grimsby Town Hall.

Jennison's problems were caused by his failure to sell the Strawberry Gardens property, competition from the recently opened Manchester Zoological Gardens, and the Manchester and Birmingham Railway track cutting through the land Jennison had leased in December 1836, restricting access to the gardens.

Belle Vue Zoological Gardens was the brainchild of entrepreneur and part-time gardener John Jennison.

John Jennison, founder of Belle Vue Zoological Gardens

In the words of historian David Mayer, Jennison was facing a crisis: " either keep Belle Vue Gardens an exclusive, class-specific, genteel preserve for the gentry and the middle classwho would arrive and depart in their own carriages through the Hyde Road gateor open the gardens to a popular crowd who would arrive by train at the Stockport Road ( Longsight ) gate ".

The initial collection had consisted of domestic birds and a few exotic parrots, but Jennison probably also acquired those animals that could not be sold after the Manchester Zoological Gardens closed in 1842.

In 1835 Jennison was approached by businessman George Gill, who suggested that he lease Belle Vue – a public house in of open land between Kirkmanshulme Lane and Hyde Road – as a more suitable site for his aviary.

Many institutions were established including Belle Vue leisure gardens and zoo ( founded by John Jennison in 1836 ), the Manchester Athenaeum ( 1836 – 1837 ), the Corn Exchange ( 1837 ) and the Royal Victoria Gallery of Practical Science ( 1840 – 42 ).

Before moving to Belle Vue, Jennison, part-time gardener, had run a small aviary at his home: the beginnings of the zoo which over the years grew to become the third-largest in the United Kingdom.

Jennison twice tried unsuccessfully to sell Belle Vue, after which his creditors allowed him time to make a success of the gardens ; by the end of the 1843 season, Jennison was able to repay his debts.
