| NORWICH (THORPE) 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 city of Norwich, in Norfolk, has had 4 greyhound tracks in the past with the one at Thorpe, East of the city, being situated at 1° 16' E 52° 39' N. It raced under official rules and first opened on 17th June 1933. |

| The track was thought to be owned by George Carey (sometimes spelt Cary) and was always known locally as Cary's Meadow, but other sources state that the land on which the track was built was owned by Walter Cary. |

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. |
