The track was built in 1907 and called "The birthplace of British Motorsport".

I live 5 mins away from track. The thing is that it the majority has been broken up and removed to make way for...Tesco's and other supermarkets. Suffice to say the remaining track is in good condition, but it is only 800 meters long or so.
