Is this Stapleford Hill Climb, known to be flat? I suspect this is 1955?
Possibly West Essex C.C., 16 October 1955? Does anybody have programme, report, results?
Stapleford Airfield, Abridge, Essex:

Almost on the eve of the Motor Show, the West Essex Car Club promoted a second climb on their airfield 'hill' at Stapleford Tawney. Fastest Time of Day, and a course record which stood for several years, was to the credit of Paul Emery, more usually seen on the circuits than in hill-climbing. With the exception of Rivers Fletcher and Don Parker (the latter was beaten for 500 cc class honours by Mark Lund), the regular hill-climbing drivers were missing from the entry list, support coming rather from those more frequently seen in club circuit racing.
