HistoryThe track was described as a very basic flapping track (independent, not affiliated to the National Greyhound Racing Club). It held significant boxing bout during 1935 including ones by Dick Corbett and Harry Mizler.[6] [7] The 1946 tote turnover reached £776,050, a sizeable sum bearing in mind the track only housed a maximum of 650 people.[8] On 11 February 1947 the track held a daylight race meeting despite a government ban announced by Sir Guy Bower (the Deputy Secretary). The ban was designed to conserve fuel and the meeting was attended by government officials to verify that no electricity was used. The hare was powered by two men on a tandem.[9] ClosureIt is believed that it closed around 1949. It became a playing field on the north side of the newly constructed Clays Lane. before being converted into a council-run site for Travellers. Initially cleared for the 2012 Summer Olympics, it is today the Chobham Manor housing, on the south side of Abercrombie Road, close to the Lee Valley VeloPark.
