PELAW GRANGE 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 the scans of badges on this page.

 
Chester-le-Street is the location of the greyhound track of Pelaw Grange. Its traditional race nights in the past have been Monday, Thursday and Saturday evenings and the distances ranged from 270 yard sprints up to 990 yard extended marathons.

The track has hosted a number of principal races throughout its history, including the Newcastle Rose Bowl over 445 yards and the Whitfields Oaks also over the same distance.

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
