BRENTWOOD 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 village of Mountnessing, near the town of Brentwood, had a greyhound track situated on Main Road at 0° 21' E 51° 39' N. The track opened for business in 1931, with racing taking place each Saturday afternoon.

The track closed for the final time just one year later in 1932.

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
