One of three pubs overlooking the racecourse, the Rubbing House (www.rubbinghouse.com ) was built around 1866 and commands a superb view of the finishing straight and The Hill. Seen here from the other side of the finishing straight, there is a narrow bridle crossing (opposite the brick cabinet to right of photo) which is closed during racing.
