WANSBECK 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 Northumberland town of Wansbeck is situated at 1° 31' W 55° 9' N and runs as an independent flapping track. The town of Wansbeck is near Blyth and once entertained the miners from the nearby Cambois colliery until it closed in 1968. |
The track runs sprints over 247 metres, standard races over 412 metres and distance races over 587 metres. |
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. |
