Chingford Hatch was one of the three hamlets comprising the old parish of Chingford, before the area was developed in the nineteenth century. The name is still widely used for the area immediately around Hatch Lane (A1009) at the foot of Friday Hill (OS Grid Reference TQ389930).
Stock car racing took place at many greyhound tracks as well as other venues. Between 1964 and 1968 Walthamstow was the home of many such races of F1 and F2 classes[2] . One driver who got off to a great start there was Ron Cayzer who had begun racing in 1964 with Brisca Formula One (number 267); after a few months of racing with BriSCA he won the World Championship qualifying final at Walthamstow. He was later placed 2nd for the Embassy Trophy at Walthamstow.[3] Other Londoners who raced stock cars there in the early and mid sixties were Maxie Bacon from Plumstead, Vic Ferriday, Barry Brew from Deptford, Rod Dore from Finchley, whose on-track photos can be seen on the website [1], on the SENIORS and the MORE SENIORS pages.
