Victorian Grandstand, Doncaster Racecourse.
This Victorian Grandstand at Doncaster Racecourse is officially called the Second Enclosure when it was made a listed building. It was constructed in 1881 and added on in 1901 with major renovations taking place in the 20th Century.
It is a fine example of Victorian design and is one of the few Victorian Grandstands in the U.K. to survive until the 21stC.
I had to attend the big hospital in Doncaster last week and changed my route to it to see what I could find! It took me past the racecourse which as a non-race day was shut for visitors. I found this spot off the main road on the far side of the course and was able to go a little way enabling me to get this shot. The stand was probably about 400-500m away from where I was but the results were quite pleasing.
