| In the early days of the sport of greyhound racing many tracks sprung up throughout the length and breadth of the country. One such track was in the small Essex village of Stondon Massey when a local farmer used grass fields to diversify. He constructed a greyhound track, known as the Stondon and Blackmore Stadium, which was situated at 0° 17'E 51° 40'N. The earliest recorded meeting took place in 1928, and whilst it was popular with the locals, the meeting only lasted for one more year before closing in 1929. |

| 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
