BLACKPOOL (St Annes Road) 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 Lancashire seaside town of Blackpool was sitauted on the St Annes Road at 3° 1' W 53° 47' N and first opened on 30th July 1928 when it raced under rules. By 1929 the track had become an independent track and continued in this vein for over 35 years.
