No tiger this was a racecourse at Longmoor Valley from 1830 to closed on 20/8/1879. Was moved to Four Oaks Park where a circular track was layed out around Four Oaks Hall with grandstands which could hold 5000 people, membership badges were sold at 1st meeting on 17/3/1881 for NationaL hunt racing. You can search for it on Facebook with pictures of the grandstand, map of course, members badge etc, interesting never knew and just down the road from me.
