The last part of the series on West Ham Speedway is on the 1971 season, the last ever full season raced at Custom House Stadium.

I`m seeking to contact my infant school music teachers from Hartley School, Hartley Avenue, East Ham E6, London.  A female music teacher and a male pianoist teaching between 1970-1971 any names? contact me.  

1972 finally saw the end of Speedway at West Ham, and it was a sad end.

When Newham was created in 1965, both East Ham & West Ham Councils had their own Electricians, so they joined forces at Arragon Road Depot, which was the depot for the East Ham Sparks. This photo taken in the Depot Canteen in about 1970 shows the Electricians from both Housing and Highways, plus the Spotters (these men would go round Newham at Night to check that all street lighting was working), Drivers & Apprentices.
