On the 25th March the gates finally close on Wimbledon Stadium Dog track thus bringing to end greyhound racing in London and the loss of a local space and faciltiy that generations of families have enjoyed. I have been lucky enough to have access to photograph all aspects of Stadium life for its last three months. The stadium has faced closure for decades and notwithstanding the shabbiness of some areas within it the community faces the loss of something rather special and unique whether it was the dogs, the market the stock car racing local people could come together and share a sense of community and, lets face it fun.

I have been coming to the area for decades, dragged round the market by my father and later on the boot fair and later understanding why for years it was a weekly highlight for him and in turn my children have also grown to love this space.

As a freelance professional photographer this is a personal project which I have the privilege to pursue with the help of so many exceptional people some of whom appear in these photographs. I do hope that you enjoy them. I hope at a later stage to mount an exhibition that celebrates this wonderful space.

Being online all of them are downloadable for use on digital devices with authorship and watermark. Please do not print from them though as they are very low resolution. Some of them are available to buy as prints and can be ordered on line they are professionally printed on photographic paper in a professional lab.

Enjoy!
