Chester Race Course VII

In this photo you can see the Weighing Rooms. The central section, under the clock, is where the jockeys get weighed in (if you look hard you can just about see some scales in the window to the right of the clock). The section to the left of the clock is the stewards office, and they have screens from various cameras around the course so that they can see what's going on in a race at all times. They will also make decisions such as which horse has won when it is a very close finish, or whether there has been interference.
Behind the weighing area are the jockeys changing rooms (one for males and one for females) and sauna, for when they need to make a weight before a race. The glassed-in area on the right is for receptions, and holds the trophy cabinets. If you look carefully you can see the head of a man on the roof, cleaning the glass in preparation for the first races of the season.
To see where this is sited on the course, there is an excellent interactive map here: http://www.chester-races.co.uk/your-day/interactive-map#wrap
