The Gloucester and Cheltenham Stadium was a greyhound racing stadium situated in Longlevens, some 7 miles from Cheltenham and 3 miles from Gloucester, England. Origins The site chosen for the construction of the stadium was on the north side of the Cheltenham Road near the Elm Bridge and on the opposite side of the road to the newly built football ground used by Gloucester City A.F.C. Opening The stadium opened several years after an unsuccessful attempt to start racing at nearby Elmbridge. It had looked unlikely that racing would start at Longlevens because in January 1933 plans had been refused by the council due to concerns over noise and disruption. The opening night was on Saturday 22 July 1933 and the track dimensions consisted of a 432-yard circumference with distances of 500 and 650 yards.

Unparished Area
In England, an unparished area is an area that is not covered by a civil parish (the lowest level of local government, not to be confused with an ecclesiastical parish). Most urbanised districts of England are either entirely or partly unparished. Many towns and some cities in otherwise rural districts are also unparished areas and therefore no longer have a town council or city council, and are instead directly managed by a higher local authority such as a district or county council. Until the mid-nineteenth century there had been many areas that did not belong to any parish, known as extra-parochial areas. Acts of Parliament between 1858 and 1868 sought to abolish such areas, converting them into parishes or absorbing them into neighbouring parishes. After 1868 there were very few extra-parochial areas left; those remaining were mostly islands, such as Lundy, which did not have a neighbouring parish into which they could be absorbed. Modern unparished areas (also termed "non- ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
