| BARRY 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 greyhound track in the South-Wales town of Barry was situated at the Jenner Stadium at 3° 15' W 51° 24' N and was one of the pioneers of the sport in Wales. It was an independent track with grid reference ST1268. The stadium was used by the local football club and a variety of other sporting activities, but the ground was purchased by the Welsh Greyhound Association and they held their first meeting at the stadium in 1932. |

| Racing continued until 1955. |

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. |
