Promoting Research into the History of Speedway and Dirt Track Racing In 1928 Jimmy could see that speedway racing was not going to last as a ‘Circus’ and searched hard for the answer. One day while reading the Volume No.8 No. 3 December 2005 football results, he thought, ‘why not a speedway league’. He got Edited by Graham Fraser and Jim Henry cracking and worked out the sequence of arranging heats, etc. The first ‘try out’ match he staged at Southampton, between his own teams, Any Colour as Long as it’s White!

  • 1 Oxford Stadium
    Oxford Stadium – Factual Report and Assessment of Significance for Oxford Heritage Assets Register Review Panel Introduction and Background Oxford Stadium has been nominated by the public as a potential addition to the Oxford Heritage Assets Register. The register is a locally maintained list of non-designated heritage assets that the Council have recognised as having a degree of significance meriting consideration in planning decisions because of their heritage interest as described in the National Planning Policy Framework. Inclusion of non-designated heritage assets on the register is dependent on their fulfilling criteria adopted by the City Council and will be subject to review by a panel of City Councillors prior to adoption. An adopted nomination form sets out grounds on which a nominated heritage asset may be deemed to fulfil these conditions. For further details of the Oxford Heritage Assets Register, the criteria and nomination, review and adoption process please see the project website at: http://www.oxford.gov.uk/PageRender/decP/HeritageAssetRegister.htm This report has been prepared to inform the review of the nomination of the Greyhound Stadium for registration as a heritage asset. It includes details of Greyhound Stadia as a class of historic place, information about the development history of the site and surrounding area and a review of the history and architecture of the greyhound stadium. The concluding section provides a review of the greyhound stadium using the nomination form and criteria for the heritage assets register to consider where it might have heritage interest, heritage value and significance. Consultees are invited to provide information to enhance the accuracy of the information provided and may comment on the assessment of the Greyhound Stadium’s significance to inform the Council’s review of its nomination.
