Has the land that was supposed to become the "racino" event get built on?

Not sure, i was a regular at Smallmead, but lived in London at the time.

Yes - an industrial/warehouse unit.

Is the old Smallmead still undeveloped?

Go look on Google Maps in satellite view - you can't miss it. Very sad...

Few minutes ago i just thought I'd have a quick look at the  telegraph site to catch up on news and there was the video and headlines. 

So sad to see so much of my childhood and youth rotting away. Even worse is that developers are perfectly happy to destroy a heritage site for what they hope will be big gains. But the way the economy is heading it may be many more years before anything comes to fruition at Brandon .

Was/is Brandon a recognised heritage site?

When I used the word heritage I was really referring to my own personal heritage and how it has always been  part of me, though a distant part these days. I am sure if it was a formally recognised heritage site it would be better protected.
