| GLOUCESTER HORTON ROAD 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. |
The greyhound tracks in the City of Gloucester were at Longlevens and off Horton Road at the local football stadium situated at 2° 12' W 51° 52' N. The first stadium in the area held its first meeting as early as 1933 and traditionally raced on Thursday and Saturday evenings. |

| The most recent track on Horton Road held its inaugural meeting on 7th March 1975 but was to only last for 4 years until closing its gates on 6th July 1979. |

I am grateful to Jon Seddon for the following link to a map showing the whereabouts of the old 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 http://astore.amazon.co.uk/wwwgreyhoundd-21 where further reading can be undertaken. |
