CLACTON 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 greyhound track at Clacton was built around the perimeter of Clacton FC football pitch on Old Road and was situated at 1° 8' E 51° 47' N. The inaugural meeting at this independent track took place in 1967. |
Racing continued until the council sold the site in 1985 and racing finally ceased in 1986. |
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. |
