Editors notes: Walsall Tennis Club is located to the rear of the Travel Lodge at the junction of the Birmingham Road and the Broadway in Walsall. Walsall Tennis Club.... ....started life as the Birmingham Road Lawn Tennis Club it was founded in 1912 by a group of friends who rented a tennis court in a garden in Charlemont Road, Walsall. As the Club increased in membership new premises were found in 1918, in the grounds of the "Malt Shovel" on Birmingham Road. This later became the Quality Hotel. The original grass courts were changed to red ash in the 1920's and later to tarmac. More recently, thanks to a Lottery Grant and a Lawn Tennis Association loan, the club has five artificial grass courts. The Club is run by a voluntary committee. Walsall Tennis Club is a not for profit volunteer led organisation. |
