EARLS BARTON 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 Earls Barton greyhound stadium was on the edge of Northampton on the Northampton Road and situated at 0° 44' W 52° 15' N. It shared its greyhound facilities with speedway and first opened for racing in 1940. |
The track closed in 1970 and has since reverted to the towns playing field. |
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. |
