BATTERSEA 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 Stadium at Battersea first witnessed racing in the early 1930's at Battersea Park. It ultimately closed because of stiffer competition from near neighbours Catford, Crayford and Walthamstow.

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
