Summary
The closure of Wembley Lions, Bradford Tudors and Poole Pirates left the league with only four teams, so the seven sides in Division Two merged to make an eleven-team first tier and so Division Two became defunct.Bradford Tudors returned to replace Birmingham Brummies mid-season and Swindon Robins followed up their Division Two title in 1956 with the Division One title in 1957.
