I'm trying to identify the location in these three images (links below) which were on a roll of film that my late father exposed at the beginning of May 1955. The preceding images on the same roll were of the Daily Express Silverstone meeting on May 7th, while the following images were of the Bugatti OC Prescott meeting on May 22nd.
That leaves Sun May 8th, Sat May 14th, Sun May 15th, and Sat May 21st as the possible dates for these images. My father was based in Birmingham and was reliant on a 250cc BSA for transport, so anything he would have attended would have been somewhere in the Midlands region. Looking at the May fixtures list in Motor Sport, the only likely contenders seem to be:
1) Nottingham S.C.C. Speed Trial on May 14th
2) North Midland M.C. Hillclimb on May 15th
Oddly, my father only made 4 exposures in total which I'm assuming was down to the extremely gloomy and wet conditions.
In any case, does anyone know which venues Nottingham S.C.C. and North Midland M.C. might have used? It looks vaguely reminiscent of Loton Park?
