Love this thread, sadly its not just confined to racetracks is it.
I went to Henley (in Arden) ice cream parlour yesterday, then the museum next door.
Henley ice creams / Tudor Dairies were pretty famous in the 30s to 70s, however Chase Midlands, a local greedy developer who has since gone bust, bought the 'factory' from Ross Foods & turned it into some yucky terraced yuppie housing.
BTW I went to school in Henley in the late 60s.
We need to look after lots of interesting plots of land that were once historical racetracks, etc. By the time my grandkids are my age there wont be anything left to recognise what went on in the mid 20th century !
