BREAN SANDS 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 Somerset town of Brean Sands from as early as 1970 when the independent flapping track was run by the House family. The track was situated on Unity Farm and located at 3° 0' W 51° 17' N with racing proving popular with local holidaymakers.

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
