EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the vibrant atmosphere of Greyhound racing at Hall Green Greyhound Stadium in Birmingham. Handlers can be seen guiding their sleek and agile racing greyhounds on the track, as they prepare for an exhilarating race. Hall Green Greyhound Stadium, which opened its doors in 1927 despite initial opposition from local residents, became a hub for sports and recreation. In addition to hosting greyhound races, the stadium also featured a speedway track until its closure in 1937 and even had a football pitch from 1951 to 1965. Throughout the late 20th century, significant investments and developments transformed Hall Green into one of the most renowned greyhound racing venues. These efforts culminated in winning the prestigious Greyhound Racing Association Racecourse of the Year award in 2002. However, after nearly nine decades of entertaining crowds with thrilling races and unforgettable moments, Hall Green Greyhound Stadium sadly closed its doors in 2017. The following year witnessed its demolition to make way for housing development on this historic site. This remarkable photograph serves as a poignant reminder of the stadium's rich sporting legacy that brought joy to countless spectators over many years. It immortalizes not only the excitement of greyhound racing but also highlights how sport has shaped communities throughout history.
