A Flying Carnival organised by the Lancashire Aero Club took place on August 3rd 1910 which would prove to be the last aviation event hosted at Squires Gate as the land was leased to a syndicate who built a horse racecourse that opened in 1911 (but only lasted until 1914).
The carnival (of Lancashire Aero Club) consisted of exhibition flights by Claude Grahame-White (4-14 Aug) and flying races (15-20 Aug). Brochure includes biographical details of Grahame-White, A.V. Roe and Maurice Tetard, and photos of them, and of Chavez, Drexel, Cecil Grace et al.
