HALIFAX 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.

 

Greyhound racing first took place in the Yorkshire town of Halifax in1931. The inaugural meeting was held on 5th November 1931 and the track was on the perimeter of the local cricket ground. It operated initially as an Independent track but then became an NGRC registered permit track in 1975 and finally stopped this in 1979.

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
