EDITORS COMMENTS
Step into the thrilling world of greyhound racing during the golden era of the 1920s and 30s, as depicted in this page from The Bystander's Greyhound Racing Number. This collection of photographs showcases the rapid expansion of greyhound tracks and stadiums across London and the country. At the top of the page, we find Harringey Stadium, a popular venue located in the north of London, known for its grandstand and impressive racecourse. To the left, Clapton Stadium, a smaller track with a more intimate atmosphere, is also featured. The aerial views on the right offer a unique perspective of two of the most famous greyhound racing sites in London: White City and Wembley. White City, located in the west of the city, was the largest greyhound stadium in the world at the time, boasting a capacity of 60,000 spectators. Wembley, on the other hand, was a multi-purpose stadium that also hosted horse racing, football matches, and other events. At the bottom left, we are transported to Wimbledon Stadium, where the racing action took place in a more refined setting. The dining room, where spectators could enjoy a meal before or during the races, is shown, as well as the paddock where the greyhounds were walked and prepared for their races. This fascinating glimpse into the past offers a glimpse into the rich history of greyhound racing in London during the 1920s and 30s, a time when the sport captured the hearts and minds of the British public.
