Does anyone have any knowledge of Stafford Tennis Club ? It was part of Stafford Cricket Club and the original courts were actually on the Hough ground from about 1900. However, they appear not to always have been there ! We're trying to find out exactly where the club was situated (it may have been exactly where the new Travelodge is now) There is a picture on our website - http://www.riverway-events.co.uk/history (pic 149 of 171) showing a group photo ! Does anyone know any of the people in the picture !
On a similar theme, we have recently discovered all the club's minute books dating back to 1888. The club played at "The Lammacotes" before moving to The Hough in 1899. We think the field that was leased from a Mr Crewe and a Mr Turkington at the time was basically where Hatherton Street is now. Does anyone have any information or possibly photographs on The Lammascotes during this period ? (or The Hough for that matter).
Any comments or info would be appreciated
