EDITORS COMMENTS
Step back in time to the roaring 1930s and experience the glamour and excitement of Derby night at the White City greyhound derby in London. This photograph captures the essence of the era, as diners enjoy a luxurious meal at the Shepherd's Bush enclosure's restaurant. The dining tables, elegantly set and positioned to offer an unobstructed view of the greyhound racing track below, exude an air of sophistication and elegance. The year was 1932, and the Derby was won by the legendary greyhound, Wild Wolley, owned by none other than Mr. S. Johnson of Manchester. The historic race was witnessed by an astonishing crowd of 75,000 spectators, who gathered to witness the thrilling competition unfold. The stadium, bathed in the soft glow of the night, hummed with the anticipation and energy of the crowd. The 1930s were a time of opulence and glamour, and the White City greyhound derby was no exception. The restaurant, a luxurious retreat amidst the bustling stadium, offered a respite for the elite and high society members to indulge in fine dining while taking in the electrifying atmosphere of the race. The photograph transports us back to a time when history was being made, both on and off the track. As the sun sets and the night sky darkens, the anticipation builds for the next race, and the diners, their glasses raised, toast to the thrill of the chase and the unforgettable memories that will be made tonight at the White City greyhound derby.
