Volume Three, published in October 2024, covers the contrasting meetings in the Midland counties, from the many around Birmingham, one of which caused a great riot, to some of the first steeplechases in rural Leicestershire, Lincolnshire and Northamptonshire, together with the sporting counties on the Welsh border. As with the first two books, it is arranged by county and profusely illustrated, featuring more than 840 historic location maps and images of the old meetings, as well as modern aerial photos of the landscape as it appears today. It’s another big book, in its scope and in its physical dimensions, and readers will be sure to find many fascinating anecdotes and nuggets of information in its meticulously researched pages.
