Aerial showing Yarmouth 1923 with  tennis courts and green spaces

There were tennis courts where the 8 council houses are that were built in 1949.  Before they were built, it was allotments during the war.  I remember Mick’s aunt used to play.  We used to play tennis didn’t we, on Mrs Hamilton’s courts where the Glen is, next to the Sports Club? The tennis court was Tennyson Road end and opposite her place, ( The Wight House) so she had to cross the road. Annette Haynes and Pat Burt b 1929
