Summary
[edit]
| Description |
English: The Old Racecourse. Horse racing on Low Moor dates from the seventeenth century. As a racecourse it was abandoned in 1891 as the bends were too tight for the modern racehorses being selectively bred. It is now Open Access Land comprising rough grassland and is still used for exercising horses.
The Old Grandstand was built in 1775 by public subscription and designed by John Carr, perhaps better known for his Grandstand at York. It had a colonnaded first lower storey and an upper storey with glazed doors opening onto a balcony which commanded views down the whole course. It is actually located in the adjacent square NZ1502. |
