Introductory Guest Post by local historian Philip Grant
Like most seasonal traditions, when this time of year comes round I feel that there has to be a Wembley History Society Christmas Picture Quiz. [Well, there has been one each year since the Covid-19 lockdown in 2020, so it has become a bit of a tradition!] As in previous years, Martin has kindly agreed to share the quiz with “Wembley Matters” readers. The question paper is attached below, so please feel free to “have a go!”
There are ten pictures again this year, each with two questions. This time, the quiz is about sports and entertainment stars who’ve appeared at Wembley over the years. I drew up a list of “possibles”, but decided not to include this 1930s speedway rider, as only a few people would probably know who he was. However, if you want to see if you can find the answers, here is an extra star for you:
a) Who was he?
b) Where in Wembley did he run a sports shop for many years?
How many questions can you answer? The quiz is just for fun (no prizes!), and you’ll get the answers on this blog site next week. Don’t worry if there are some you don’t know, because the more questions you can’t answer, the more details you’ll discover in a week’s time.
You are welcome to share the quiz (and later the answers!) with friends and family, or former Wembley residents, if you think they will enjoy it too. Good luck!
Philip Grant
