Advert for Catford greyhound stadium in Catford, South East London, which opened its doors in July 1932 and has been hosting greyhound races ever since, showing an aerial view of the stadium.

A mate from Blackheath took me to Catford one night - never backed a winner all night.  Couldn't get near one.  Took us back to his local pub where there was an old fashioned sing song round an old piano. It was terrific.

Cheers for all the old photos you upload sparrow. Much appreciated, even if they bring a tear to the eye on occasion. Happy

Thanks hall green. Will put up a few more when I sort them out.

Yes, thanks also Sparrow.

I look at that photo and memories come flooding back at what was literally my second home for more years than I care to remember.
So then I started thinking that if, like Oxford, it was somehow miraculously to reopen and how would I feel about that?

I think I'd be of the opinion of let sleeping dogs lie (no pun intended!) as no matter what did transpire it would never ever be the same.

I've got the glory days in my head and that's good enough for me.

Like the old saying slippy...."you should never go back".
