Catford’s Long Lost Velodrome

Catford was home to several sports stadia which have been lost over the
years, including the greyhound stadium and The Mount, home to Charlton
for a season, both of which have been covered before in Running Past. Another
very short-lived one was a cycling and athletics track on a site close to
Brownhill Road, now taken up by Elmer Road and Sportsbank Street. It was
the track home to Catford Cycling Club and Blackheath Harriers between
1895 and 1900.
