CARLISLE SHEEPMOUNT 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 Cumbrian town of Carlisle has had 3 greyhound tracks in the past, the earliest one being at Harraby and the second at Gillford. However, the town did have another track later on which was in the Sheepmount area of the town at 2° 56' W 54° 54' N.

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
