I loved going to Towcester, then some years after it closed, I remember seeing dog racing there on TV, may have even held the greyhound derby there?
But the viewing of the dogs was so far from the stands, a bit like Newton Abbot dogs if anyone remembers? Hereford reopened after a few years away, so why not Towcester? |

Towcester was uphill all the way round, only one of its kind in the UK |
