CASTLEFORD 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 the scans of badges on this page.

 
As is usual, the Whitwood Stadium was built for greyhound racing and staged its first meeting as early as 1938. Indeed, the sport was to last for a further 63 years before holding its final meeting in January 2001. Speedway took place at the same 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
