Brooklands Lives Up to Its Name: The Automobile Track at Brooklands Under Water, 1910 This evocative photograph captures the unexpected transformation of the renowned Brooklands race track in Weybridge, Surrey, during the heavy rains of 1910. The once bustling hub of automobile racing and speed records has been overtaken by nature, as the nearby River Wey bursts its banks and inundates the famous track. The scene shows the finishing straight of the Brooklands circuit completely submerged in water, with the track's iconic grandstands and pit buildings standing tall in the background, seemingly unperturbed by the flooding. The usually dry and meticulously maintained racecourse has been reclaimed by the elements, providing a stark contrast to its usual state. The name "Brooklands" seems particularly fitting in this moment, as the brook that gives the track its name has caused the very flooding that has engulfed it. The photograph serves as a reminder of the power of nature and the unpredictability of the environment, even in the heart of the industrial age. This image, taken in 1910, offers a unique perspective on the history of Brooklands, which was not only a significant racing venue but also a symbol of British innovation and progress during the early 20th century. The flooding serves as a humbling reminder that even the most man-made structures are subject to the whims of nature.
