"As a happy Hammer, who spent many Fridays nights in the Hawks nest, I cannot believe that nobody could make the old place work as the centre for London's Speedway. With the possible Olympics even these sad views will be gone. Well done to Norman for these photos. Also well done to Norman for his Book on London Speedway. In years to come this book will become `a bible` for historians of London to trace the pleasures of the the people of London."
