ST AUSTELL 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 west country town of St Austell had a greyhound track situated at 4° 44' W 50° 20' N. It opened in 1950 and operated as an independently run track throughout its history.

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
