{91} SITE.—The Gardens were soon built over, but the site can be made
out with little difficulty. There were three entrances: (1) (approached
from the Walworth Road) in Manor Place; (2) and (3) (approached from the
Kennington Park Road) in Penton Place and in New Street. The Manor Place
entrance was about where that street is now crossed by Penton Place. The
_continuation_ of Manor Place is now on the site or boundary of the
gardens.
The Penton Place entrance was about where that street is met by Amelia
Street.
The New Street entrance was at the end of the street where it meets the
continuation of Manor Place.
Part of Delverton Road, Suffield Road, Tarver Road, and Berryfield Road
are also on the site. The Surrey Gardens Hotel, at the corner of
Delverton Road and Manor Place, alone commemorates the vanished Zoo.
