HER Description

NEHL - This tennis ground sat on the east bank of Hartburn Beck was one of a cluster of tennis courts and bowling greens near Hartburn Bridge. They cropped up around the 1930s, serving the burgeoning local community which was developing at Hartburn.

This specific tennis court was on a footpath leading to the bowling green which still exists. Aerial photography in the 1940s dictates it was actually dismantled fairly quickly post war. Nothing remains of the court.
