BRAINTREE (NOTLEY) 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 Essex town of Braintree had 3 greyhound tracks in the past, the second of which was on Notley Road at 0° 33' E 51° 52' N. The previous track on the Coggeshall Road had closed in 1932 and the Notley Road track held its inaugural meeting on 12th February 1932.

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
