| RAYLEIGH 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 the scans of badges on this page. |

The greyhound track in the Rayleigh Weir area of Southend was situated at 0° 36' E 51° 34' N and opened for racing in 1948. It shared the venue with speedway later that year and continued to do so for the next 25 years.

| Once speedway finished in 1973 the writing was on the wall for greyhound racing at the venue, and the final meeting took place on 8th March 1974. | ||||||

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. |
