  • Volume 15 No.2 September 2012 Edition No
    The Speedway Researcher Promoting Research into the History of Speedway and Dirt Track Racing Volume 15 No.2 September 2012 Edition No. 58 Lee Richardson The tragic loss of Lee Richardson has had massive coverage in other publications. We would just like to add our sincere condolences to Lee’s wife and children and to his family and friends. Editors Speedway in Australia 1926 In 1926 Lionel Wills visited Australia and his thoughts on speedway in Australia was published in The Motor Cycle on November 25th of that year. We now reproduce that article. “Motor racing,” an Australian daily paper remarked recently, “has definitely become one of the major sports of Sydney.” In Australia, in other words, a motor race meeting often draws as big a crowd as does a football match, and the time is obviously approaching when it will rival horse racing, the Australians’ favourite pastime. Now even with the increasing popularity of the T.T. races, the same cannot be said of England, and it may therefore interest home readers to hear how it is done on the other side of the world. In cinder-track racing Australia has discovered a type of event which is as thrilling as the “T.T.,” and even more spectacular than sand-racing; in addition, it requires a not very great outlay of capital, and the track is easily accessible from the big city. Ten minutes on a tram, fact brings Sydney to the Speedway Royal, which is simply, a broad unbanked cinder track constructed round a football oval. Australian football is played on an oval field, and the track round it is about one-third of a mile, with huge stands all round, having accommodation for thousands of people.

  • 1 Frank Charles D 15 July 1939 in A
    Frank Charles d 15 July 1939 in a glider accident in Derbyshire After I’d led a walk around Rampside Churchyard in May 2019, I was asked “Why didn’t you mention Frankie Charles, the famous speedway rider.” I’d heard of him, but not seen the grave. Later, after showing me the grave (which he later cleared to find overgrown stones), this correspondent informed me: My aunt Mrs June Miller-Watt (nee Allen) lived next door to the Charles family, who had a bakehouse. She remembers Frank getting annoyed because his mother used to get him to do the bread deliveries and grease the loaf tins, when all he wanted to do was ride his bikes. Her father (Albert Allen) was his bike mechanic for some time during a period of unemployment and travelled with him to Wembley and Belle Vue, Manchester. Frank kept his bikes in a shed on the allotment garden opposite where he lived on North Row. Whenever he was tinkering with his bikes the young Roose lads would gather round chatting to the village celebrity. Sometimes he would do daredevil stunts, like riding his bike on top of the wall round Roose school, or get his accordion out and entertain them. She remembers being at the Sunday school party picnic and sports day on the field behind Roose school when Mr May, who lived opposite the school, came over and announced that Frank had been killed in a gliding accident. She said everyone there fell silent and the crowd quickly dispersed and went home. The party was definitely over.

  • The Wembley Park Story – Part 4 We Left Part 3 (“Click” If You Missed It) Just After the British Empire Exhibition Had Closed in 1925
    The Wembley Park Story – Part 4 We left Part 3 (“click” if you missed it) just after the British Empire Exhibition had closed in 1925. Its site and the buildings on it had cost around £12m (equivalent to over £700m now), but the Liquidator’s attempt to sell them at auction as a single lot was withdrawn, with the highest offer at £350k. It was later bought for just £300k by Jimmy White, a speculator who paid 10% of this “up front”, with the balance payable as the buildings were sold off. Many of the people who worked at the exhibition had been unemployed ex-servicemen. Arthur Elvin was one of these, working in a cigarette kiosk in 1924. He saved as much of his £4 10s wages as he could, and leased eight kiosks himself when the exhibition reopened in 1925, selling sweets and souvenirs as well. He bought and demolished his first small building on the site in 1926, selling the metal for scrap and rubble as hardcore for road construction. After reinvesting the profits several times, within a year he offered £122,500 for the stadium. 1. Wembley Stadium, after demolition of the BEE pavilions, c.1927. (Image from the internet?) Elvin had paid £12,500 deposit to White, with the balance payable over ten years, when in August 1927 the Official Receiver demanded it all within a fortnight! Jimmy White had only ever paid the initial £30k for the buildings, gambled away the rest, and then shot himself. By working together with friends and banks, Elvin managed to complete the purchase.
