Lewes racecourse closed in 1964 and these days is used as a training course. It was open for 250 years before closure and its death knell proved to be a couple of bad summers weather-wise.
Unfortunately, Lewes Racecourse suffered from having no running water, no mains electricity or gas and was not connected to the town’s drainage system. Without doubt these shortcomings contributed to the demise of the course. In 1964 a statement was issued by the Horserace Betting Levy Board to the effect that they were withdrawing funding for Lewes with immediate effect.
The most famous reference to the racecourse is the gangland fight that happened in 1936 and was immortalised in the novel Brighton Rock.

Set in the heart of the Cotswolds, Cheltenham Racecourse has hosted racing since 1815 and now showcases some of the best jump racing in Britain.
This shot shows a deserted racecourse taken from Cleeve Hill before the festival got underway.
Another racing image, this horse was so far in the lead that I think the jockey was wondering where everyone else had gone.
