KNOTTINGLEY 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 West Yorkshire town of Knottingly, on the River Aire and close to Wakefield, had a greyhound track which opened in 1940. It was situated at 1° 15' W 53° 42' N and operated for just under 6 years before it closed in 1946.

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
