NEHL - One of multiple tennis courts in Tow Law stood on Wolsingham Road, behind the former Ironworks Inn between around the 1920s and the mid 20th century. It is illustrated on Ordnance Survey maps published in 1946 as an enclosed set of at least two courts, with an entrance from Wolsingham Road and a footpath from the former ironworks complex.
The site is now a public park, and the Ironworks Inn has been demolished.
