WOMBWELL (HOUGH LANE) 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 greyhound stadium at the South Yorkshire town of Wombwell was situated at 1° 24' W 53° 31' N. Initially the track was at the Ings Road Stadium and opened in 1929. Another track in the town was on Hough Lane and closed in 1972.

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
