EDITORS COMMENTS
A Night at the Grand National: The Excitement of White City Greyhound Racing in the 1930s This evocative image captures the thrill and excitement of the last Grand National race held at White City greyhound racing stadium in London during the 1930s. The vast enclosure, filled with an eager and passionate crowd, is illuminated by the warm glow of floodlights, casting long shadows over the packed grandstands. In the foreground, the historic finish line comes into focus as Mrs. L. J. Lakes' Long Hop, the supreme racer over hurdles of 1932, crosses the line in a triumphant victory. Hot on Long Hop's heels are Wisbech, Bass Horn, and Sammys Adventure, who finished in second, third, and fourth place respectively. The tension in the air is palpable as the spectators, dressed in fashionable 1930s attire, lean forward in their seats, their eyes fixed on the action unfolding before them. The Grand National was a significant event in the history of greyhound racing, and White City stadium was the place to be for racing enthusiasts. With its state-of-the-art facilities and innovative use of floodlights, the stadium offered an unforgettable experience for all who attended. This photograph is a testament to the enduring legacy of this iconic race and the rich history of greyhound racing in the UK. The image is an artist's impression, but it captures the essence of a bygone era, transporting us back to a time when sporting events brought communities together and created memories that lasted a lifetime.
