LITTLE WALTHAM 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 small Essex village of Little Waltham on the River Chelmer, just 5 kilometres from Chelmsford, had a greyhound track located on the Braintree road and situated at 0° 28' E 51° 47' N. The independently run flapping track first raced in early 1930, racing each Friday night. The standard races were run over 550 yards and the track continued to run successfully for 8 years until closing in 1938. |
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. |
