| MANSFIELD (WOODHOUSE) 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 Nottinghamshire market town of Mansfield can boast 3 greyhound tracks in the past, if Sutton-in-Ashfield is counted, and the only one to race under rules was at the Woodhouse track on Old Mill Lane and situated at 1° 10' W 53° 9' N. The track was launched in 1929 and raced under rules for a short period before becoming independently run. The track was run successfully as a flapping track for almost 35 years before closing in 1962. |

| The site on which the former track once stood is now covered by a caravan park. |

I am grateful to Jon Seddon for the following link to a map showing the whereabouts of the old track |
| 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 http://astore.amazon.co.uk/wwwgreyhoundd-21 where further reading can be undertaken. |
