Greyhound racing events were held in the early 1930s before becoming a weekly event from Boxing Day 1947 until 5 December 1950.[4] The racing was independent (not affiliated to the sports governing body the National Greyhound Racing Club) and race distances consisted of 485 and 650 yards.[5]
This greyhound racing venue should not be confused with the Priory Greyhound Stadium which was the name for the greyhound operation held at the nearby County Ground, Taunton.[6]
