KINGS LYNN 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 Norfolk town of Kings Lynn was situated between Maple Road and Poplar Avenue and was called the saddlebow Greyhound track.
