NEHL - A tennis ground was situated in the western boundary of what is now The Glebe ground, home of Whickham CC and Whickham FC.

It popped up around the 1910s and featured two enclosed lawn courts. Two ancillary buildings feature though it isn't known what they were for.

The outline of the ground can be seen in 1945 aerial images in the field full of ridge and furrow. If the land hjad already been used for intense farming, the farmer may have leased the side of the ground for sporting activity. It is worth noting the centre of the field is very flat, indicating its use for sports. A football pitch is marked out in the adjoining the field.
