Northolt Recreation Ground
The blue buildings are the children's play centre in the north side of the Recreation Ground off Newmarket Avenue. The Recreation Ground has an interesting history insofar as it started life in 1929 as Northolt Racecourse specializing in the then new sport of pony racing. Extensive cantilever stands were built, and other facilities added during the 1930s included an electric totalizator, a totalizator stand, and an artificial watering system for softening the course. For a time the track was extremely popular, but racing ceased just after the outbreak of the Second World War, and the racecourse was taken over as an ordnance depot. Plans to re-open the racecourse after the war did not come to fruition, and much of it was eventually built over with housing, leaving only today's Recreation Ground. However the racing connection is remembered by some of the local road names such as Newmarket, Ascot, Kempton, Cheltenham, etc..

Redcar Close, Petts Hill - former Northolt Park Racecourse
1200 houses were built from 1951 on an area developed in 1929 for pony racing. The racecourse company went into receivership in 1937, after the 2nd World War Ealing council needed land for housing. The racing fraternity tried to retain a course, but the housing went ahead - some of it built for Harrow council. Street names are those of racecourses - Cheltenham, Thirsk, Ascot, Ripon, etc. View from Mandeville Road, looking across the park to houses at the end of Redcar Close.
