Description
The Horse Racing Museum, originally subscription rooms, is an early 19th-century building that was restored around 1980. The garden elevation features two storeys with six windows and a projecting wing to the left. It is constructed of painted gault brick and has hipped slated roofs. The early 19th-century sash windows have flat arches made of gauged brick, with small-pane sashes on the upper floor and large-pane sashes with panelled internal shutters on the ground floor. The entrance doors are glazed and date from the 20th century. Inside, there is a mid-19th-century one-storey room that has three bays of blank arcading and a coffered ceiling with a central lantern. The building was originally a betting establishment and later became part of the Jockey Club Headquarters.
