SOMERCOTES 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 in the Derbyshire town of Somercotes was situated on the Nottingham Road close to Alfreton. The track held its inaugural meeting in 1955 and remained open for 16 years before closing in 1971.

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
