HAWTHORN 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 Welsh town of Hawthorn had a greyhound track situated at 3° 18' W 51° 34' N. It operated outside the rules of racing and opened in March 1932.

It closed its gates for the final time in the early 1960s.

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
