Greenford Park Trotting Track was a trotting track, motorcycle speedway and short-lived greyhound racing track in Greenford, London Borough of Ealing, West London.[1]
The site of the trotting track was on modern day Jeymer Drive, south of Birkbeck Avenue and was opened in 1919 by the London Trotting Club.[2] [3] [4] Charles Sabini who was portrayed in the hit series Peaky Blinders was associated with the track.[5] Sabini and the mob violence at the trotting track were described in detail by Ted Greeno.[6] It closed in 1935.
The track was a pioneer venue for Speedway with a first meeting on 7 April 1928.[7] The very large dirt track also hosted Sidecar speedway and it was known in speedway circles as the Greenford Driving Park, with the entrances on Birkbeck Avenue.[8] It also hosted speedway meetings in 1931.[9]
The greyhound racing first appeared on 31 October 1927 during the very early years of greyhound racing but racing had ceased in 1928. The track was a short lived independent (unaffiliated to a governing body). The racing took place on a smaller track inside the trotting track.[10]
