EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print from March 1946, we are transported back to the Sunbury on Thames and Park Royal greyhound track. The race manager, depicted in a moment of intense concentration, can be seen meticulously checking the identity of a dao against the dogs' log book. This snapshot captures a crucial aspect of greyhound racing during that era - ensuring that each dog's identity is accurately recorded before they take their place on the track. The image exudes an air of nostalgia as it transports us to a time when nature and sport seamlessly intertwined. The sleek and elegant greyhounds stand ready for action, their athletic prowess evident even in stillness. Their presence adds an element of excitement to this scene frozen in time. Photographer John Heddon has masterfully captured both the essence of this thrilling sport and its historical significance within British culture. Through his lens, he invites us to immerse ourselves in this bygone era where spectators eagerly awaited each race with bated breath. This remarkable print from Memory Lane Prints not only serves as a visual reminder of our rich sporting heritage but also acts as a testament to the meticulous attention given by those who managed these races decades ago. It stands as an enduring tribute to all those involved in making greyhound racing such an exhilarating spectacle throughout history.
