EDITORS COMMENTS
In the heart of the 1920s, greyhound racing was enjoying an unprecedented surge in popularity, with the sport's electrifying energy and thrilling competition captivating audiences across the UK. This photograph, taken at White City greyhound racing stadium in 1927, encapsulates the excitement and allure of the sport during its meteoric rise. The canine actors in the limelight are poised at the starting gates, their keen eyes focused intently on the mechanical hare that looms before them. The greyhounds, sleek and powerful, are a picture of athleticism and determination, their muscles tensed and ready to spring into action. The spectators, dressed in their finest 1920s attire, are equally engrossed in the action, their expressions a mix of anticipation and excitement. White City stadium, which opened its doors in June 1927, was a testament to the sport's growing popularity. Following the establishment of the first greyhound racing stadium in Manchester in 1926, White City quickly became the premier destination for greyhound racing enthusiasts. The roar of the crowd, the crack of the starting gun, and the thunderous roar of the greyhounds as they chased the mechanical hare around the track were sounds that defined the era. This photograph is a snapshot of a moment in time, a moment when greyhound racing was at the height of its popularity and the roar of the crowds at White City stadium was a testament to the enduring appeal of this thrilling and electrifying sport.
