Belle Vue Speedway

Belle Vue had opened as a zoo in 1846 and developed over the years to become a pleasure park with a boating lake, an extensive funfair, and a large hall that staged the circus, brass band contests and wrestling. The speedway stadium was one of the first to be constructed in 1928 and was one of the few that had run continuously since that date, even throughout the war years.

This was at the time, a running track, the speedway itself first ran at its present home at the Kirkmanshulme Lane stadium, although this was only for the one year in 1928.Speedway moved to the Hyde Road stadium in 1929, and on Saturday the 23rd March, Dirt track racing commenced there.
