GILLINGHAM 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 greyhound track in the Kent town of Gillingham was located at Redfern Avenue and situated at 0° 33' E 51° 23' N. It was built around the perimeter of the local football team at the Priestfield Stadium and first opened for business on 7th December 1927.

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
