Northolt Park Racecourse Ltd
Registered 1927. Dissolved <1948. Company number 222907
Founded in 1927 by Viscount Lascelles and William Bass on a 147 acre site in this sleepy North London suburb. The first meeting took place in 1929. The course had some of the best facilities in the country; it planned to introduce the first photo-finish camera system in 1935, the first live radio broadcast in 1937 and in 1938 the BBC televised a race meeting for the second time. High overheads caused bankruptcy and the outbreak of war ceased all race meetings and unfortunately never recommemced after the war.
Capital £250,000 in 225,000 Ordinary shares of £1 and 500,000 Deferred shares of 1/-.
