The Poole and Dorset Herald of 13 September 1849 has: 'Longfleet Diversions commenced on Wednesday when a Silver Cup was won by Mr J. Duffell's Creeping Jane, beating three others.' The 'Diversions'were a two day, annual horse racing festival held on fields outside Poole, close to the Country House Inn and had started in 1839. |
