John says: I am not a local. I spell this
track Harringay
but have seen others spell it with an "e" i.e.
Harringey.
I believe Harringay is a residential area of North London and
Harringey is a London Borough.
I presume both are correct? |
|
If anyone can confirm the correct
spelling for the speedway track/team I will be happy to put it on
this website
John |
|
|
Fred Pallett says: I notice that,
in the Harringay section of the website, there has been confusion
about the correct spelling of the name of the former speedway. I
can confirm that the speedway was always spelt "Harringay."
The confusion has arisen because, in 1965, local government in
Greater London was reorganised. 32 New London Boroughs were
established and one of these decided to call itself by the
historical name of "Haringey". The residential area of Harringay
where the speedway was located is now incorporated in the much
larger London Borough of Haringey. The speedway became defunct in
1961, so the correct name of the speedway must always therefore be
"Harringay". It follows that only the London Borough is referred
to as Haringey.

John Grimsey says: Hi John, Just came across your site, in
particular the section on Harringay. I worked in Greyhound racing
there in the 1980's. Unfortunately, Speedway had long since
ceased. Although I also worked at Hackney where Speedway still
drew very decent crowds in the 80's.
I'm not sure if you are aware, the first photograph on the
Harringay section (the advertisment for Harringay Park) is in fact
a photograph of White City Stadium in West London. It was also
owned by The GRA. This photo would've been taken long before
speedway arrived at White City.
The greyhound track was considered to have good galloping
straights but tight bends. So much so in fact that the first arc
of each bend was eventually slightly banked to prevent greyhounds
running too wide. As the speedway track was inside, I'd imagine
the bends seemed very tight indeed. I can also confirm that Harringay was the correct spelling for
everything to do with the stadium and arena.
I
hope this has been of some use to you, Yours Sincerely,
John Grimsey

& Speedway Stadium |

| |
| Here we have a
Greyhound night and this time the picture shows the speedway track
inside of the dog track. The above picture was taken pre second world war. The speedway track,
inside the dog track,
appears from this picture to have had fairly tight bends, a bit like my home
track Brough Park, Newcastle. Can anyone say if Harringay had
tight corners as my assumption is based on these photos.

programme is his favourite from his entire collection. I would agree it is
a bit of Art Deco era class. 1935 Royalty on this
programme King George V and Queen Mary. The match was
between England and the Colonies hence the Kangeroo. |

| 1947: A fine long focus shot
by Archie. I have told him that his photo shown above is great. This photo has to rank alongside all of the very best
pictures on my websites. Archie Cooper (now 80 yrs at time
of writing this, 2014) is a
friend of mine and he keeps surprising me with his excellent
photos. We are both from Newcastle upon Tyne (wellyabuggerman!)
and meet up before each Newcastle home match. Sometimes Archie was
allowed on the inside of tracks to take photos, but often he took
great long focus pictures, like this one from the spectators side
of things. The photo was taken around 1947 at Harringay.

Fred Pallett says: Hello John,In the selection of Harringay
section of your website, under the heading "More of Archie

Vic Duggan (Harringay) on the outside and Bill Kitchen
(Wembley) on the inside. This is a duplication of an identical

Amazing to see pictures of my Dad,
Walter Lawrence under the Harringay pages. Although none of the
sons followed him into speedway, we all raced in Cycle Speedway
for many years having moved opposite the South London track just
around the corner from Wimbledon Stadium. Two of us became british
champions in the time we did it with the eldest having had his own
success in it too. We are just a couple of families where there
were 3 riders from, the same family and, I think, one of only two
that had 2 british champions
Great to see the pictures. Regards, Lee Lawrence

| Steve Ison |
| |
|
Terence Peach says:
You have a photo of Steve
Ison who got killed on the Southend road on a Sunday . He was with
Jack Biggs. We spoke to him the day before trying to get him to
part with his grey fur lined goggles. You have said that it might
be a young Maury Dermot. Hope you can change this as he was very
nice, not like Jack Biggs who swore at us. |
| |
 |
| |
| Col Greenwell thinks this
could be Maury McDermott, see below:- |
| |
 |
| |
Col says: I think the photo could
be of a young Maurice (Maury ) McDermott. 1951. See my scan
from a Harringay pic from 1951. If it is him, I do remember
Maury riding at Cleveland Park in the early 1960's for
Rayleigh and Exeter.
John says: I do recognise
his name but can not remember seeing him ride at my track
(Newcastle) |

and note on the back about Steve Ison's accident is proof enough

| |
| |
|
Jeanne Parker says: I
wrote to you recently in connection with a photo on your site
labeled Maury McDermot. Thank you for replying to my query. I
understand that I should have been more specific. So, if you could
click on Harringay and scroll down you will come to this photo. It
is actually a photo of Steve Ison and I must say that Steve and
Maury looked surprisingly alike. However I think I have proof that
it is Steve as I have now found another photo which he actually
signed. So if you type in Steve Ison speedway on your computer his
details, together with this photo, will come up on speedway at
oz.co.uk - there isn't much about Steve on the internet, probably
because he was riding for only a few months before this tragic
accident so it would be lovely to think he was remembered on your
great site. |
| |
|
There were several
riders and supporters involved in this accident, including a
friend of mine, Pauline, who was riding pillion with Jack Biggs.
In pitch dark they rode into the back of an unlit vehicle. Jack
was relatively unscathed but my friend was in hospital for several
months with a severe leg injury. If Steve had lived he would have
been a star of postwar speedway, one can tell that just from his
few results. |
| |
|
My friends and I
were a bunch of girls from the local Grammar School and we all
belonged to the Harringay Supporters' Club from 1947. You
could say that Speedway was our obsession. In a way we were
'insiders' on account of one of our parents keeping a boarding
house near the Stadium where riders, in particular the
Aussies, would lodge and sometimes socialise, playing darts or
cards and having a drink.We had to keep well out of sight on
those occasions.
Our great aim in life was to be
first into the Supporters Stand. So every Friday in all
weathers we would run to the stadium and sit on the ground by
the turnstiles, usually arriving at about 4.30. We spent the
time - three and a half hours - doing homework, making up
songs, knitting a few rows onto our ever-growing scarves and
inventing names in Latin for the riders. Eventually we were
allowed in, climbed up to the Supporters
Stand and spread our scarves over several benches to reserve
seats for friends and family. Then the fun would begin.
|
| |
|
Sometimes we would bunk off school and
travel to Rye House to watch the young riders who practised
there. Inevitably we
were
caught, but that's another story. Anyway it was worth it for
Speedway. We all had our favourite riders and mine was Arthur
Bush, a novice rider and mechanic to Ray Duggan, Vic's brother. We
would go and chat to him in the Workshops you can see where some
of Danny Dunton's photos were taken. Although Stadium and Arena
have vanished the workshops are still there. Arthur was specially
kind to us. Sometimes he would arrange for us to go to away
matches on the back of the bike truck with one of the mechanics to
keep us safe. This was quite an adventure ! He also arranged for
us to see some of the shows at the Arena. Every month we had
a Supporters' Club dance and one time some of the Wembley riders
were invited. Arthur asked me if I would like to meet Bill
Kitchen. Of course I said yes, so Arthur led him over and
introduced us and so I found myself waltzing with the Captain of
England. |
| |
|
Well another favourite
rendezvous of ours was the office of Speedway World which was just
along Tottenham Lane, on our way home from school. We had taken to
dropping in there for a chat during the winter time when most of
our riders were in Australia. There we managed to keep up with
some of the current news thanks to our friend the Editor who was a
lovely man called, I think, John Wicks. He was an absolute mine
of information about any rider you might care to mention.
Forinstance, about Arthur he told us that he came from a working
class family - 'respectable working class' and he was one of seven
children including 'three fierce sisters, so you'd better watch
your step young lady !'. Once I asked did he know where Arthur
lived and he replied after a bit of thought, 'yes, 221b Lordship
Lane.' The office girls seemed to find this amusing. On a
bitterly cold winter's day my friend Doreen and I went exploring.
We walked the length and breadth of this very long lane, but there
was no 221b to be found. The next time we popped into John's
office we told him we hadn't been able to find it and thought he
might have got the number wrong. He said, 'oh, you didn't go and
look did you?' Everyone in the office fell around laughing but I
really couldn't think why. It was some years before I discovered
that 221b was in fact the number of Sherlock Holmes' residence. |
| |
|
It
was a couple of years after this event that we ceased to be school
girls and went out to work. I found a job as a lowly clerk in
Lloyd's Bank Head Office and my friend became a trainee secretary
for the Managing Director of Bird's Custard. But we still loved
the Speedway. There was always great excitement as you can
imagine when our riders returned from Oz. We always found out when
the team photos were to be taken so that we could waylay the
riders on their way to the Greyhound Cafe for breakfast. By then
they looked more like film stars with their Aussie suntans
and stylish clothes, unlike the local lads, shabby and wan,
waiting to be called up for their National Service. Along came
Arthur doing his usual Pluto Dog act, rather like the Pink
Panther. Arranging the riders in a circle he stood me in the
middle and padded right round me. Then coming to a halt in front
of me he said, 'my, things have been happening while I've been
away.' Everyone roared with laughter and we were invited
to breakfast, a great honour. Some time after, Arthur asked me out
and so we started to go to the cinema together. But my mother was
having none of it and she soon told him so saying he would have to
wait 'two or three years'. |
| |
|
I recently came across
some photos of Arthur under Bradford on your site donated by his
son John. I also found out on the net what happened to him. I
would love to write to John who must have been only a little boy,
not more than six, when his father died. I have tried hard to find
him but with no success. So I wondered if you still had his
contact details could you put us in touch. I would consider it a
great favour , but would understand if you couldn't. |

Hello John,
I was reading your interesting website regarding
the Harringay Racers. I thought the attached photos might be of
interest to you. This badge was given to me by an elderly
neighbour of mine. The story goes that her mother, at sometime
around the World War II period, was a friend of Ray Duggan. He
gave her this badge, which is obviously in Harringay Racers
colours, and is made of an early plastic material. I’ve searched
online but have not found anything similar. Regards, Roger
Newark
