1. Title: Greyhound Puppies Up for Grabs at White City Stadium, West London, 15 August 1934 This evocative photograph captures the excitement and energy of a greyhound puppy sale at White City Stadium in West London on 15 August 1934. The bustling crowd gathers around the makeshift puppy pen, their eyes fixed on the young greyhounds eagerly awaiting their new homes. The greyhounds, with their sleek coats and bright eyes, seem to be just as curious about their potential buyers. The atmosphere at the sale is electric, with smoke rising from nearby cigarettes and the sound of hushed negotiations filling the air. The greyhound racing industry was a popular pastime during the 1930s, and the sale of puppies was an integral part of the experience. Greyhound racing was a spectator sport that attracted large crowds, and owning a greyhound was a status symbol for many. White City Stadium, located in Shepherd's Bush, was one of the most famous greyhound racing venues in the UK during the 1930s. The stadium, which opened in 1933, was a hub of activity for greyhound enthusiasts, and the sale of puppies was a regular occurrence. The sale of greyhound puppies was a significant event for both the buyers and sellers, as it marked the beginning of a new chapter in the lives of these magnificent animals. This photograph is a fascinating glimpse into the past, offering a glimpse into the world of greyhound racing during the 1930s. It captures the excitement and anticipation of the sale, as well as the strong bond between humans and their canine companions. The photograph also serves as a reminder of the enduring popularity of greyhound racing and the important role it played in British culture during this era.
