Last night I had a dream that there was another Herne Hill Velodrome, it was right next to HH station and was a 20s or 30s building which completely surrounded the track. The track itself was about 300m not very steep and in terrible condition with big cracks in it. There were also some buildings in the track center, along with some kids playing cricket.
Nevertheless there was a race meet on whilst the other HH was shut, lots of people I know were there and I went into the track center to chat to them.
The buildings were all in use though in a pretty poor state of repair, I went into the toilet which was more like a bathroom, there was a massive bath full of water which I urinated in. The whole room was painted pink except for the plumbing fittings.
I asked someone about the place and was told it was owned/run by Southwark council but they hadn't really done anything to it for years, as it looked like a library or municipal building from the outside hardly anyone knew about it or bothered going there.
It was such a vivid dream that I woke up believing it to be true for a few seconds.
