| EARL SHILTON 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 tiny Leicestershire village of Earl Shilton had a greyhound track situated at 1° 19' W 52° 34' N which first opened for racing in 1928. The track was an independently run track, but was unlikely to have had any greyhounds in common with near neighbour Hinckley as it had almost certainly closed by the time Hinckley opened in 1936. |

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. |
