HENLOW 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.

 
Opening as one of the first tracks in the latter part of the 1920's, Henlow Stadium is located at Henlow Camps in Bedfordshire. In the early years it was a well run Independent track and switched to come under the NGRC umbrella in 1976. It traditionally raced on a Monday and Friday night and hosted races from 318 metres up to a marathon 890 metres.

Its principal race is the Bedfordshire Derby over 484 metres and run in late October.

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
