Greyhound racing

A greyhound track was constructed at the rear of East Wickham House with an application to build a stand in 1932. The track was opened on 28 October 1932 by proprietor M J Mortimore and East Wickham House also owned by the Mortimore family was used as a clubhouse and bar. The racing was independent (not affiliated to the sports governing body the National Greyhound Racing Club).^[2]

Closure

The stadium closed due to a council closure order in 1937.^[2]^[3]
