User:Peaky76/Whitehaven Racecourse

Whitehaven Racecourse was a British horse racing venue, situated in Cumbria, England, which was established in 1852. It was built on Harris Moor on the Earl of Lonsdale's estate, at the behest of a Mr Fearon, landlord of the Globe Hotel and tenant on the estate. The course was twenty yards short of a mile in length and twenty-three yards wide. It was said to be "in no respect inferior to the celebrated Chester course."
