daz9100 270 Posted November 9, 2021 Cardiff - Penarth https://maps.nls.uk/geo/explore/#zoom=15.659999999999995&lat=51.45982&lon=-3.19536&layers=193&b=1 Opened in October 1950, Penarth Road Stadium was a purpose-built speedway stadium paid for by Major A. J. Lennox and his business partner Leslie Maidment. The first races held here were in April 1951 but racing was wound up in 1953 after a series of poorly attended events. The site remained derelict until 1969 when it was demolished. The site is commemorated in the street name 'Stadium Close'. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
