KNOWLE STADIUM

BRISTOL

As it was in the early 50s just before stock car racing started there.

No stock cars in these shots but they give you an impression of the stadium itself

 

Back To Defunct Stock Car Tracks

 

Knowle stadium opened in 1928 for dogs and  speedway

It ran stock cars 1954-55 and closed at the end of 55
