Closed Racecourses

Vincent Hinde Collection Closed Racecourses
This unique section is a 'catch all' covering courses which no longer operate for which less than 5 badges have been collected. By their nature they are very rare, and therefore much sought after badges.
	Earliest meeting: Wednesday 10th July 1751 Final meeting: Saturday 11th September 1909 The East Riding of Yorkshire town of Kingston upon Hull, in the Humber estuary, is more commonly known just as Hull and first held races in the middle of the 18th century. Early records show that racing took place on the Anlaby Road course in 1754, and later the Racing Calendar of 1760 recorded a meeting at Hull from the 8th to 10th July 1760
	Earliest meeting: Tuesday 13th June 1732 Final meeting: Saturday 17th April 1915 The Hampshire city of Portsmouth is the second largest city in the county, located just 19 miles south east of Southampton. It has been the most significant naval port for centuries, but much later it held its own race meetings. The first two day meeting took place on Tuesday 13th and Wednesday 14th June 1732, but almost a century later a 2-day meeting on Tuesday 14th and Wednesday 15th September 1816 was staged when the local Garrison organised the meeting, although the main Subscription Plate was for non-thoroughbreds.
