The Last Raceway

Exhibition: Saturday 17 June – Saturday 24 June.

The Last Raceway tells the story of the United Downs banger racing track in St Day, near Redruth, which is currently under threat of demolition after 50 years of activity. With plans in place to build a new tourist attraction on the site, if successful this would mark the end of a significant part of local history, as well as cutting off a lifeline for many.

The body of work was made over 18 months and is part celebration, part protest – documenting an important part of Cornish history and the dedicated community who have used the track for generations.

We are delighted to have worked with Becky, Portrait of Britain Award 2020 and 2021 winner,  on our first AH x BLW collaboration.
