I’d rather they concentrated on getting the indigenous population to speak English to a high standard (which is never going to happen) before they worry about the linguistic strengths of those who have moved here.

The outside staircase on the stand in #1 strongly suggests Thirsk but I’ll have a stab at Liverpool.
And I’ll venture Newmarket July for #2.
The closed courses are clearly Phoenix Park & Stockton, but I’m only saying that from answers already given.
