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.

The Alexandra Palace transmitting station in North London (grid reference TQ297901) is one of the oldest television transmission sites in the world. What was at the time called "high definition" (405-line) TV broadcasts on VHF were beamed from this mast from 1936 until the outbreak of World War II. It then lay dormant until it was used very successfully to foil the German Y-Gerät radio navigation system during the last stages of the Battle of Britain. After the war, it was reused for television until 1956, when it was superseded by the opening of the BBC's new main transmitting station for the London area at Crystal Palace. In 1982 Alexandra Palace became an active transmitting station again, with the opening of a relay transmitter to provide UHF television service to parts of North London poorly covered from Crystal Palace.
