Architecture Notes

NS56SE 2237 centred 55239 64489

Nothing survives of the greyhound racing stadium in the car park used for Ibrox Stadium (NS56SE 121), of what was annotated on historical maps as the 'Albion Greyhound Race Course'.

The greyhound stadium is depicted on the Provisional Edition of the OS 25-inch map (Lanarkshire, 1933-34), but is not shown on the Revision Edition of 1913. The map shows that the kennels were at the N end with several stands around the S end.
