Vic Harding Memorial Plaque

Memorial Garden Paradise Wildlife Park

By Brian L

On Sunday 21st February I visited The Memorial Garden at Paradise Wildlife Park in Hertfordshire to see Vic Harding's Memorial plaque.  The plaque would normally be accompanied by a steel shoe which speedway riders attach to their left boot to enable them to slide around the bends of the track; this is currently away being reconditioned.  You might ask why Vic's memorial is located in such a place, it is because the park houses the Speedway Museum and in 2005 there was a reunion of Vic's Hackney team mates at which his Mother Edna unveiled the plaque.
