White City.... White Elephant?

on BBC Radio 4 FM

While the Coliseum in Los Angeles commands the attention of the sporting world, another famous Olympic stadium - London's White City, built to stage the 1908 Games - stands decaying and under threat of demolition.
Harry Carpenter traces the history of the White City and recalls some of the great champions - Dorando and Wooderson, Harvey and Mills,
Mick the Miller and Foxhunter, Chataway and Ibbotson - who all enjoyed their finest moments there.
