Exeter Greyhound Stadium
Either side to west and east were the Teign Valley line and Great Western Railway respectively; the former swung in a westerly direction towards Ide whilst the latter made its way south to Dawlish.[1] The site was selected as the ideal place for a new greyhound track with the nearby catchment area of Exeter.The stadium was constructed along the south side of Marsh Barton Lane and consisted of four buildings on the home straight.[3] The racing continued over the following years until Mr Henry James Shooter the chief steward at Marsh Barton took over the betting licence in 1935.[7] The stadium operated for just seven more years before finally closing its doors in November 1957,[8] it was demolished making way for development on an expanding trading estate.
