| BOSTON (SHODFRIARS LANE) 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 the scans of badges on this page. |
The Lincolnshire town of Boston can boast 3 greyhound tracks in the past, the middle one of the 3 being on Shodfriars Lane at 0° 1' W 52° 58' N. The track held its inaugural meeting on 10th August 1932 and operated both under rules and as an independent track in its 7 year history. |
   |
Once the Second World War began the track closed in 1939 and it was to be a further 25 years before greyhound racing returned to Boston. |

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
