SAVE the Herne Hill Velodrome (Burbage Road, London, SE24 9H)

 Herne Hill Velodrome, built in 1891 is  one of the oldest cycling tracks in the world. It hosted the 1948 Olympics, became the home of Crystal Palace Football Club during the World War I and continued through to the present time with cycling events for all in the community.

Structurally it is a shallow concrete bowl measuring approximately 450m with the steepest banking 30°. Unfortunately though it has not been well maintained, and although still in use it has deteriorated over the years and an insurance inspection due in March 2011 could force closure within a year. To Save the Velodrome, a campaign has bees set up to generate funds and support.
