EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a nostalgic scene from the 1940s at Laing Sports Ground in Elstree, Barnet, Greater London. Through a serving hatch, we are granted a glimpse into the world of tennis enthusiasts engrossed in an exhilarating match. The image is part of the Breaking New Ground Project, undertaken by Historic England Archive in collaboration with the John Laing Charitable Trust during 2019-20. The composition exudes an air of camaraderie and joy as people come together to indulge in their shared passion for sport and recreation. The tennis court stands proudly amidst lush greenery, its pristine surface awaiting each skillful serve and powerful volley. Adjacent to it is a charming pavilion that serves as both a gathering place for players and spectators alike. As we delve deeper into this snapshot frozen in time, one cannot help but be transported back to an era where sportsmanship reigned supreme and the "Laing spirit" was palpable. This photograph encapsulates not only the physicality of tennis but also the intangible sense of community fostered within these hallowed grounds. The presence of bottles near the serving hatch hints at refreshments enjoyed during breaks between sets – perhaps lemonade or chilled water on warm summer days. It's these small details that add depth to this visual narrative, allowing us to immerse ourselves fully in this moment captured by A© Historic England Archive.
