Horse Racing on a tiny track Pennycross Plymouth. The stadium opened in 1928 with dog racing. In 1931 motorcross was introduced. Stock Car or Banger racing also was also held. Pennycross stadium now the site of Cherry Tree Pub

Wasn't the stadium behind the Cherry Tree pub?

That's how I remember it. Didn't Peter Green-era Fleetwood Mac play there c. 1970? (The stadium, not the pub!)

Yep, the original Mac did play the stadium in 1969. Twice, I believe in May and September.

The Cherry Tree and Stadium behind it certainly existed when I moved to Camilla Terrace in 68

Good work digging out the posters! Interesting - the second gig was half as long and cost twice as much but it had much better known acts in support.

Wish I had been old enough to go. Massive fan of Peter Green.
