| CANTERBURY 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 greyhound track in the Kent city of Canterbury was situated in the Kingsmead area of the city with reference 1° 5' E 51° 17' N.The track opened on 28th August 1987 and operated under NGRC rules for 11 years. Greyhound racing replaced speedway. A number of very successful years meetings were held at the track, and many dogs from the track enjoyed Open race successes. |

| However, the Council-owned track closed its doors on 13th October 1999, and some 2 years later the football club ceased being. |

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. |
