BRADFORD CITY 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. 

Greyhound racing took place in the Legrams Lane area of Bradford as early as 1932. The inaugural meeting at the City Stadium was held on 15th August 1932 and the track was judged to be one of the best in the country at the time. The track was situated at 1° 46' W 53° 47' N.

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
