Brooklands Motor Racing Circuit - Elmbridge
The world's first purpose-built motor racing circuit, constructed in concrete in 1907. It was in use until 1939 when aircraft production buildings took over part of the circuit. Historic England funded a Conservation Management Plan for the entire site which identified various parts of the track to be at risk. Historic England is now working with owners and interested parties to ensure the necessary works take place and significant progress is being made in reducing the risks to the track. However, further action is required.
