NEHL - One of many tennis courts in Tow Law was situated was situated at the bottom of Ironworks Road, adjacent to the old ironworks site, between the 1920s and the late 1930s as per aerial imagery.

The court featured a small shed on its north east corner, as well as a seperate enclosure on its north side which may have catered a separate court or bowling green. The 1940s aerial imagery shows no indication of a sports ground at this site, so was likely levelled during the war.
