BEDFORD (CARDINGTON) 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 town of Bedford has had 2 greyhound tracks in the past, the earliest being situated on the Cardington Road at 0° 27' W 52° 7' N. The inaugural meeting was held in 1929 and regular racing took place two, and on occasions, three times each week, on Thursday evening, Saturday evening and occasionally on Saturday afternoon. |
The track had closed within a year of opening. |
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. |
