HER Description
NEHL - A set of tennis courts were opened adjacent to a playing field on Naismith Grove around the 1930s. The complex was opened on old industrial land, with a tramway for the Tow Law Iron Works still sitting in situ through the 30s next to the ground.
There were at least two courts on this site, though sadly aerial images from 1945 are too low a resolution to decipher the exact nature of the grounds. The playing grounds are in situ, but the court has been repurposed as a general sports court.
