Photographs courtesy of Keith Eastwell Photography and displayed by Darren Hanning In the Heritage Room and main hall there will be other displays, photographs and information about Galleywood’s history including the racecourse and much more.
Located on Galleywood Common, the Heritage Centre’s main building is a conversion of the 1920s grandstand from the hey days of horse racing. A listening bench in the ground has stories from yesteryear from the Galleywood residents past & present.
Just outside the grounds on Galleywood Common, the track of the old racecourse can be seen. A short walk across the free public car park close by brings visitors to the remains of the Napoleonic era Star Fort earthworks which has an interpretation board.
The Horseshoe tea room will be open for hot and cold drinks, hot food and home made cakes. Check opening
