The 1935 National League Division One was the seventh season of motorcycle speedway in Great Britain.[1][2][3]

Summary

Walthamstow Wolves relocated to Hackney Wick Stadium at the end of the 1934 season and started 1935 as the Hackney Wick Wolves. Walthamstow had been subject to resident complaints.[4]

Plymouth Tigers and Birmingham dropped out so there were only 7 teams, 6 of which were located in London. Bluey Wilkinson of West Ham Hammers topped the rider averages.

The only non-London club, Belle Vue Aces, won their third consecutive national title and Knockout Cup and second treble after winning the A.C.U Cup.[5]

British champion Tom Farndon of the New Cross Lambs was fatally injured in a scratch race at New Cross Stadium, on 28 August. He was involved in a crash with Ron Johnson, who clipped the safety fence and fell causing Farndon to crash into Johnson's bike. Farndon suffered a fractured skull and spine injury and was unconscious when he was transferred to the Miller General Hospital in Greenwich. He died two days later on 30 August.[6][7][8]
