| BRISTOL (BEDMINSTER) 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 city of Bristol has had a number of greyhound tracks in the past, the least well known of them being at Long Ashton in Bedminster. The independently run track was situated at 2° 36' W 51° 25' N on South Libert Lane and first opened for racing on 9th June 1928. Although the track applied to become a licenced track they failed in their bid. |
   |
| The track was popular and raced regularly each week, but it closed its gates for the final time on 26th August 1932. |

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. |
