New (2nd hand) Grandstand 1927

If the stand was moved in 1927 as you seem to think, I find that really surprising Barton, it would suggest that the Buckfastleigh racecourse had been there for many years before.

What do we know about the reasons they gave up the stand and sold it to Torquay United, I say sold as that is what I expect happened. It would be good to find out some more history of the Buckfastleigh racecourse and what happened around 1927, for it to no longer want its grandstand.

I wonder if it is recorded anywhere what price was paid for the stand and how it was moved to Plainmoor, it must have had to be completely taken apart and all the parts numbered etc, so it could all go back togeather properly and I wonder if there is any photos of it being put back together again.

It would have been news at the time and you would have thought it would have been reported in the local paper, let the search begin
