CHAIRBOY Â Â 10 #6 Posted September 24, 2006 Yes, Darnall was a licensed track, Hyde Park was a 'flapping' track. Owlerton, licensed, is the only one remaining. Clarks was the bookies at Hunter's bar - up the stairs to the right! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

CHAIRBOY Â Â 10 #8 Posted September 24, 2006 Darnall greyhound racetrack was just behind the old Parkway Market. It was more or less at the end of Poole Road, when Poole Road was half the length that it is now. The current A-Z has a roundabout at the junction of Acres Hill Lane and Poole Road; that is more or less on the site of the greyhound track, as far as I can judge from here! Â The above is from someone else's thread. It doesn't give a date of closure but confirms its existence. I went there with my dad and it wasn't open when I was 18, so I'd guess at late 50's?
