The 1947 National League Division Two was the second post-war season of the second tier of speedway in Great Britain. In the previous season, the league was known as the Northern League but the addition of Bristol Bulldogs and a third tier saw the name revert to the one used 8 years previously. As well as Bristol Bulldogs, Wigan Warriors were new entrants bringing the total teams to 8. Middlesbrough Bears won the title. In fact the entire top 5 were unchanged from the previous season. the British Speedway Cup was also run in a league format. Sheffield Tigers won the title. images from the John Somerville Collection 1947 Team Gallery National League Division Two Riders Averages
