Rye House Stadium, Racing stadium in Hoddesdon, England
The stadium sits alongside the River Lea Navigation, featuring both a speedway track and greyhound racing facilities within its expansive grounds.
The stadium opened on May 27, 1934, and operated continuously until 2018, serving as a training ground for the Wembley Lions after World War II.
During the 1970s, the stadium became central to British motorsport by hosting qualifying rounds for the Individual Speedway World Championship.
The stadium complex contained multiple racing tracks, measuring 440 yards in circumference for greyhound racing events and competitions.
The land where the stadium stood derived its name from medieval buildings on the Isle of Rye, next to the original Rye House manor.
