Horton Road Stadium
The site chosen for the construction of the stadium was on the east side of the Horton Road on allotment gardens.The Horton Road Hospital was opposite on the east side of Horton Road and there was a gasholder station situated on the south west side of the stadium.[4][5] Planning was passed for speedway in early 1967 but following protests failed to materialise.There was however an instance of three races being held in January 1967 for the purposes of the testing noise levels for the Gloucester City Planning Committee.The Horton Road ground became the Swallow Park housing estate.
