WIGAN (WOODHOUSE LANE)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 Lancashire town of Wigan had two greyhound tracks in the past, the first at Woodhouse Lane being situated at 2° 39' W 53° 33' N. The independently run track opened on 17th March 1928. |
It closed for the final time in 1961 and the site on which the track once stood is now a housing estate. |
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. |
