I remember a lot of the names, people and dogs, in those pics, and I used to race at Seaton Burn, a bit earlier than that.

Brings back nice memories, thanks for sharing !

Cheers.

Nice little books of days gone by, bet you loved flicking thru them when you found them  ? 

I sure did mate. I was only a young un back then. I think he finished with the racing when i was about 10 due to health reasons. My grandad actually used to live next door to us back than and i'd spend most of my spare time around there. Some right characters always coming and gowing, trophies beiging dropped off, odd litter of pups on and what not. I took it for granted being so young, but i wish i could go back in time and re live all again.

On a Sunday morning back then from our garden you could hear the Whippets racing on the local rec, the game of footy on pitch opposite the track and also if the wind was right you could hear the pack Harriers being exercised. Now all sadly gone..

Yes they are Fred..

Beat me to it!!

I used to go down there when i had some decent camera gear and got some cracking action shots.

I should still have them saved on a hard drive but I'm struggling to get the files off.

I'll take it to someone who knows what they're doing when things are back to normal and see whats on there..
