Documentary photographer, Katherine Green of Walthamstow, East London, marks the final months at the recently closed Walthamstow Greyhound Stadium in a new exhibition, 'Going to the Dogs' at Walthamstow’s Vestry House Museum which is on until the 29th of November.

Walthamstow Greyhound Stadium  - the best known and loved of all the UK’s greyhound stadiums - opened in 1933 and closed last year. Green's work documents the last three months of Walthamstow Greyhound Stadium through photography and oral history, focusing on the people who worked at the track and contributed to its history.

The Stadium was an integral part of Waltham Forest’s history and one of the area’s biggest employers. Brad Pitt and Damon Albarn are amongst the famous names who have visited over the years and the Stadium famously featured on the cover of Blur’s Parklife album. The Stadium employed over 500 people, many of whom had spent their lives working there and the resulting series of photographs evoke a real sense of community, continuity and tradition. A newly commissioned series of audio works will be played on listening posts alongside the photographs capturing the very personal and intimate testimonies of individuals who had a particular relationship with the Stadium and providing an important record of a community.

There is also a 106 page book which has been published to accompany the exhibition, entitled 'Last Days at the Dogs'.
