SHOWBIZ SUMMER SEASON SHOWFOLK AT GREAT YARMOUTH LION TAMER DATED 1961 PLATE P6377
With reference to your 1960s supplement I would like to inform you the unidentified man with the lion on plate 6377 is Nick Nyoka, who was a strongman and animal trainer at the Pleasure Beach in the early 1960s and went on to Knaresborough Zoo in 1965 until it closed in 1980.
