Speedway in London by Norman Jacobs
In the years on either side of the Second World War, London was the center of the speedway world at a time when the sport was seriously challenging soccer. This affectionate history looks at Wembley, West Ham, New Cross, Haringay, and all the other famous tracks, and chronicles the sport's development in the city.

He also helps run the Clacton Museum. He was previously chairman of The Museums in Essex Committee and is currently secretary of the Essex Archaeological and Historical Congress.
