DUMFRIES 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 Scottish market town of Dumfries, in Dumfries and Galloway, had a greyhound track located at Essex Park and situated at 3° 35' W 55° 3' N. The track was independently run and opened on 2nd July 1932. The track was short-lived and closed just one year later in 1933. |
The ground on which the former track once stood is now covered by a housing estate. |
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. |
