| AYCLIFFE 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 County Durham town of Newton Aycliffe was situated on Grindon Way and had reference 1° 34' W 54° 35' N. Unlike many local tracks which were jointly used by speedway and greyhound racing, the Aycliffe track shared its usage with stock car racing. The first meeting was held just after the end of World War 2 in 1946 and the track continued to hold independent race meetings until closing in 1960. |

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. |
