SALISBURY (WEST HARNHAM) 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 Wiltshire cathedral city of Salisbury has had two greyhound tracks in the past. The latest of the two to open was on the outskirts of the city at West Harnham on the Netherhampton Road. The inaugural meeting at the track was held on 25th March 1932.

The track lasted for 2 years but closed in 1934. The site on which the former greyhound track stood is now covered by a housing estate.

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
