nw42 2,048 Posted March 27, 2018 I never went there but could the stadium be Custom House? This could be from the other side of the glass behind the riders in pic 1. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
norbold 7,108 Posted March 27, 2018 I think the Jack Parker photo shows him speaking to the Daily/Sunday Mirror Journalist, Don Clarke. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Chadster 221 Posted March 27, 2018 The fans in the stadium shot appear to be wearing a mix of colours that are dark and light, maybe the blue and yellow of Harringay? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Funny how we imagine colours on a black & white photo, I convinced myself they were claret & blue. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Chadster 221 Posted March 28, 2018 This is a photo of Harringay from the excellent Defunct Speedways site. It looks to me like the riders in the original photo are walking by the picket fence running down from the stand to the dog track. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I reckon it is harringay. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
