The 1933 film 'Britannia of Billingsgate' directed by Sinclair Hill featured some speedway scenes which were shot at Lea Bridge.
The riders taking part were Ron Johnson, Tom Farndon, Claude Rye, Arthur Warwick, Gus Kuhn and Colin Watson. The film starred Gordon Harker.
Is more known of this film - is it available on DVD. What tracks were the riders associated with? I guess Farndon and Johnson were Crystal Palace, Rye probably Wimbledon? Not sure of the others although, oddly, I think Kuhn was captain of Lea Bridge in 1938.
