Herne Hill stadium

Brixton Greyhound Racing Stadium, opened Sept 1932 but thought to be out of use before WW2. The curve of the track can just be made out on max magnification.

Wandsworth Greyhound Race Track, in use from April 1933 until it closed on 4th June 1966 , stating that it could not compete with big local tracks, West Ham, Walthamstow, Wembley and White City, but the real reason was of course the price received in selling the stadium and land for re-development. The American style Arndale Centres had first been introduced to the UK in 1961 and the pedestrianized mall type centre was constructed in Wandsworth in quick time. The centre still exists today but is called the Southside shopping centre.

In the murk here will be Battersea Station (1863 - 1940). it was on the High Street. http://www.disused-stations.org.uk/b/battersea/index.shtml
