The city of Leicester has had a number of greyhound tracks in the past with the one on Melton Road, Loughborough being situated at 1° 3' W 52° 41' N.

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
