Aycliffe Greyhound Track

Today Grindon Way in Newton Aycliffe cuts through what used to be a greyhound & stock car track.
After the war a syndicate of local businessmen constructed a track and it would be known as Aycliffe Stadium.

The stadium was one of many to appear in County Durham and also like many did not survive many years.
Racing came to an end in the early sixties and the stock cars ended in 1989.
The stadium made way for an expanding estate (1° 34′ 32.112″W 54° 35′ 38.067″N).
