Oswestry Old Racecourse This old racecourse must have a lot of history being in a border area, but I was unable to find any information on it, except <a href="https://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/9484">SJ2530 : Oswestry Old Racecourse</a>. The area is now used as a commons and a local dog walker remarked that it looks different every day of the year. Ponds there are being actively managed, to help wildlife.
