| "Homes of British Speedway" describes this as a postwar construction but OS 1:2500 map dated 1932/36 shows Greyhound Stadium already on site. On the other hand OS 1:1250 map of 1950 shows development encroaching on south east corner, making book's assertion that dog racing continued until 1957 look unlikely. Trusham Road now runs through site. |   gBr | Friday 16th of October 2015 04:31:37 PM |

|  The more I look at this the more I'm sure it's part of the old city wall. |   Allen T | Friday 8th of November 2013 05:01:00 PM | 
| It's definitely on the line of the city wall - and if it was part of a blitzed building (the old post office?)it would surely have been knocked down by May 1947... |   Laura Maddison | Monday 14th of July 2014 09:12:47 AM |
