NEHL - A tennis ground stood in a field south of Bridge Street from c1920s. The ground was a hard court in the welfare grounds, and is referenced in the Hartlepool Northern Daily Mail of 23/06/30. Tournaments took place here when Metal Bridge was a more sizeable settlement of aged miners and terraces.

The grounds can be seen on aerial imagery from 1945, though was likely disused at this time given the war. It appears to be a grass court, with a pavilion to its north east.

The outline of the grounds can still be seen, however is no longer used for this purpose.
