Crayford

The Crayford & Bexley Heath Stadium was built for greyhound racing in 1937.

A speedway track added in 1932, which was used for stock car racing. F1s ran from 1968 to 1974, with bangers continuing until October 1984.

Greyhound racing ended in May 1985, and the stadium was demolished later that year. It is now the site of a Sainsbury's supermarket, the address being Stadium Way.
