Greyhound racing has taken place at a number of venues in and around Newcastle over the years, notably at Gosforth Park, Brough Park and the White City. The track at the White City was situated in the Tyneside Sports Stadium on Scotswood Bridge and first opened for racing on 26th May 1928. This was before its illustrious neighbour Gosforth Park which launched on 21st May 1932. The White City continued to be a popular haunt but finally closed its gates in 1951.

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
