Gorhambury Races - from a sketch in the park, 1844. Creator: Unknown
Gorhambury Races - from a sketch in the park, 1844. Horse racing near St Albans, Hertfordshire. The journey from the metropolis to the Park may be performed in a couple of hours, and the determination of the noble owner of the property to give every possible effect to the new regulations with regard to defaulters for stakes and bets, has been the subject of well-merited praise. The sport, the fashion of the company, and the courteous attentions of the stewards and their officers to their respective duties-every thing was in keeping with the established character of the meeting. From " Illustrated London News", 1844, Vol I
