| If you like horses, go to Newmarket ! There are two race courses, the Rowley Mile (which hosts two of the British Classics, the 2000 and 1000 Guineas) and the July Course. I prefer the Rowley Mile which now has a modern grandstand and excellent facilities - and if you go there, walk out to the rails and look at the sky - it's huge !! In the town there are plenty of pubs and restaurants, and also the National Horse Racing Museum. |
| Two postcards of horses being exercised on Bury Heath and Plantation Heath. The cards date from 1913 and 1914. |
| This postcard of the July Course was mailed in 1903. |
| The old grandstand on the Rowley Mile Course - this was demolished in the late 1990s and replaced with a more modern structure with excellent facilities - but for the ordinary racegoer, the view of the racing is not as good. |
| Compare this postcard with that above and note the changes - I presume this card is much earlier. |
| This postcard was mailed in 1905. |
| This postcard of the Severals dates from about 1907....... |
| .......as does this postcard of Duchess Drive. |
| A postcard mailed in 1907 in Paris. |

| No date for this postcard - the Rowley Mile Grandstand is in the background. |
| The Devil's Dyke, with I think the July Course Grandstands in the distance. |
