HISTORY  

The original Holland House Stables was formerly known as Lansdowne House, owned by Jack Watts in 1920 before changing hands in 1957 to Basil Foster and renamed in honour of chaser ''Joe Holland' who provided Foster his first success after commencing training in 1955 at Enfield.

The property suffered fire damage and was eventually demolished providing a level site with road access from Rowley Drive and immediately adjacent to the Rows horse walk linking Racecourse Side and Bury Side Training Grounds.
