Harlington Corner Greyhound Track, closed in 1962, and replaced by the Ariel Hotel.
Harlington Corner Greyhound Track was constructed in the thirties directly above the Bath Road. During the second World War all of the land in the parish of Harlington to the South of Bath Road was requisitioned by the Air Ministry for London Airport.
In 1959 plans for two large hotels 'The Skyways (later Sheraton)' and 'Ariel (later Holiday Inn)' were revealed to serve Heathrow.
This resulted in the track having to be being demolished and the last meeting was on 22nd January 1962.
