| ASHBY GREYHOUND STADIUM
This site is not an official website for the track shown here and is neither approved or endorsed by the stadium. I am indebted to Richard English for helping to construct this page. |
The Leicestershire market town of Ashby had a greyhound track which held its inaugural meeting on 3rd April 1931. The independent flapping track was situated at 1° 28' W 52° 44' N, with sprints held over 200 and 350 yards, standard races over 525 yards and distance races over just 550 yards. Racing took place on 2 evenings weekly on Tuesday and Saturday. |

| The track was open for 4 years before closing in 1935. |

I am grateful to Jon Seddon for the following link to a map showing the whereabouts of the old track |
| This section gives a comprehensive picture of
the badges produced by the track throughout the ages, but only provides the briefest of
glimpses of its history. For those wishing to undertake further research we can recommend
a visit to http://astore.amazon.co.uk/wwwgreyhoundd-21 where further reading can be undertaken. |
