Mandalay Race Course. Photographer: Graham, Robert Blackall
- Scope & Content:
-
Genre: Landscape Photography
With Mandalay Hill beyond. 'The Race-course is situated outside the North wall of the City and runs from the north-east corner up to the North gate. It is a stretch of turf half-a-mile in length - the original Grand Stand was formed out of a richly gilded and carved pleasure barge, belonging to the late King, but which from neglect was allowed to become partially immersed in the Moat, which runs alongside the Course, and on which it floated. It has since ceased to exist, having been sold by order of the authorities, no one having been enthusiastic enough to subscribe the money necessary to restore it. Thus an ornament and curiosity has been lost to the Race-course and the public.
