HER Description
NEHL - A tennis court was situated on undeveloped land between Oakdene Avanue and the Castle Eden branch line in the 1930s.
The court had public access so may have been in use for the public, however an advertisement in the Middlesbrough Daily Gazette of 09/05/1940 does offer 5 tennis courts to let. This may include this specific site meaning it would be private.
The courts were dismantled and redeveloped in favour of housing in the latter half of the 20th century.
