Fromafar Posted October 15, 2013 Report Share Posted October 15, 2013 I'd give my eye-teeth (if I had any left) to be able to visit this place. Two of my mates were there a year ago and have been raving about it ever since they came home. Is it still open, and can anyone post dates for 2013/14? it is still open and unfortunately I think you missed an open day last Sunday.

tyretrax Posted October 15, 2013 Report Share Posted October 15, 2013 it is still open and unfortunately I think you missed an open day last Sunday. I think Ned meant is it still opened as in "this year". Mose said on Friday at Armadale that the 13th was the last Sunday for this year.

jsteve1999 Posted November 23, 2014 Report Share Posted November 23, 2014 It is called Cinders to Shale it is just outdide Edinburgh Run by a great guy called Ian Patterson I went a couple of years back it is like a speedway bike wonderland It is whithout a doubt the best in the world by miles I could have stayed talking to Ian about his machines all day but I had to go. If you are interested in speedway machines this is the place Ian says it is a collection not a museum I can't wait to get bacj to see Ian and his collection Regards to All Steve 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

crescent girl Posted March 4, 2015 Report Share Posted March 4, 2015 Are there any other confirmed dates in 2015 please? Posted in Berwick's e-Newsletter yesterday: FROM CINDER TO SHALE:The marvellous collection of old speedway bikes and equipment at Loanhead, Midlothian, owned by former Bandit Ian Paterson has announced the only five remaining Sundays on which the display will now be open to the public in 2015. The dates are April 12, May 10, July 12, August 30 and November 1st. All Sundays, and each time they are open from 10am until 4pm. We are detailing these days now, letting interested parties plan ahead as Ian tells us the collection will ONLY open on these five dates -- they no longer have a facility to open on any other days. Those who have been up there a number of times never fail to find something they previously missed! In the words of one multi-World Champion: "This is, for certain, the best, most absorbing exhibition of speedway stuff I have ever seen". High praise, but truly earned. If you like speedway, and can spare a Sunday, please indulge yourself. We know of no-one who has visited and then expressed disappointment. It is that good. The 'Cinder To Shale' exhibition is based at Edgefield Road, Loanhead -- just a minute or less from Straiton Junction on the Edinburgh City by-pass -- and the postcode for a sat-nav is EH20 9TB. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TonyMac Posted October 20, 2015 Report Share Posted October 20, 2015 We will be running extensive features, exclusive new pics and an interview with curator Ian Paterson in our next issues of both Backtrack and Classic Speedway, with the content obviously relevant to the eras covered by each respective magazine. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
