LINGFIELD 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 and schooling ground on the Eastbourne Road in Lingfield opened in 1991. It was one of the largest tracks in the country with a circumference of 475 metres. Racing took place on Saturday afternoons, with sprints over 300 metres, standard races over 475 metres and distance races over 700 metres. |
The track boasted a short history and closed a year later in 1992. |
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. |
