| Greyhoundderby.com was initially designed to chart the history of greyhound racing in England, with particular emphasis on the English Greyhound Derby. As the publics interest in greyhound racing grew there became a need to make greater use of the tracks and stadia for them to become financially viable. Speedway provided the perfect partner to greyhound racing. I am indebted to John Somerville for the invaluable support he has given in forming the brief history of each of the tracks shown below. He owns possibly the finest collection of speedway negatives in the world and has been a rich source to tap into. |
