In front of the Pagoda Pavilion in the 1920s

The club was founded in 1921.   There were grass courts until the mid 1930s and the eight acrylic courts which replaced the old red shale ones were installed using lottery funding in the mid 1990s.   The squash courts were built in the 1970s.

The club established an Open Junior tournament in 1948 and in its time it has been won by Virginia Wade and also by Buster Mottram.
