Rochford Racecourse
Horses, dogs, airplanes ?
by Mave Sipple
The racecourse was situated on Ashingdon Road between Daly’s Road and Bray’s Lane. The race course was extremely popular. Trains were specially laid on for the visitors who came in droves to watch pony racing and dog coursing, which was organised by The Rochford Coursing Club. As many as thirty dogs took part at a meeting.
A row of bungalows set back from the road now occupy the site.
