Our thanks to Simon Harris, the former Hall Green, Coventry and Wimbledon racing manager for the following:

“I was visiting somebody who lives in Hall Green and thought I’d see what monsterous, soleless housing estate stands where the wonderful stadium used to be, I can’t imagine how many people living in Kildare Close will ever be aware of the origin of the name, also Prestige Avenue, Stadium Road, Stewards Way, and Brindle Court surprised there wasn’t a GRA street.”
