Greyhound Racing

Round the time of the opening of Tamworth there were a load of tracks within reasonable distance from Birmingham. Perry Barr, Hall Green, King’s Heath, Willenhall, Monmore, Cradley Heath, Norton Canes and May be others.

Now just Perry Barr and Monmore, with many closed across the country.
 
It's such a shame that so many stadiums have closed. I remember when they closed Perry Barr - I was there for the last night and I went home and cried - it was like a big chapter of my life had come to an end. Still, lots of happy memories to look back on.
