| BICKINGTON 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 independently run greyhound track in the village of Bickington, on the outskirts of the Devon town of Barnstaple, was situated at Tews Lane at 4° 5' W 51° 4' N and held its inaugural meeting on 6th February 1937. The track was a tight circuit and held sprints over 340 yards and standard races over 400 yards. |
   |
| The track closed its gates for the final time in 1939 and never reopened after the War. |

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. |
