    As a resident of the town, this is a wonderful video. I never thought of walking the course of the old race course. Now, someone has done it for me! Brilliant video. Thank you and well done.

      Thank you, Melanie. It’s great that it’s still traceable with the roads mainly following it.

      @@rolandstravels Yes, it was a piece of luck that someone decided to follow its course when the Racecourse Road council houses were developed; not so lucky, of course, when the bypass was build. I think you missed a trick in your otherwise excellent video though - you should have done the circuit on horseback, perhaps with a few friends to really recreate the feel of those long lost times!

      Good idea, except the video may have ended abruptly before completing the circuit!

    Hi . The building on the left corner of Stand Road near the end of your video was the former Racecourse pub.

      Hi Chris
      That’s interesting. Thanks for sharing.

    if you look at the aerial view of the junction of Stand Road and Sheffield Road, it is very obvious where the track ran, as the white building is cut off at an angle.

      The Good Lady doesn’t normally take an interest in TH-cam videos. But born in Chesterfield she found this one Q I.
