CAXTON 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 tiny Cambridgeshire village of Caxton, more famous for its gibbet which still exists today, once had a greyhound track. The track was situated on the Cambridge Road at 0° 6' W 52° 13' N and held its inaugural meeting on 9th September 1932.

Whilst the independently run track did hold regular meetings throughout the year, it closed in 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
