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.

These courts stood directly south of the bowling green, which has since been reclaimed as a recreational area. It was a set of at least two courts, with a small clubhouse/pavilion on the right hand side. A footbridge stood over the beck at the courts. providing access to the other side of the beck.
