EDITORS COMMENTS
This charming photograph captures the essence of leisure and camaraderie during the early 1910s at Hanger Hill Tennis Club in Ealing, West London. The image features two young women, Dorothy and Madge Hay, dressed in fashionable tennis attire, with broad-brimmed hats shielding them from the summer sun. The striped hats and blazers of the women are a clear indication of their membership in the tennis club. In the background, a lively scene unfolds as other players engage in spirited tennis matches on the green courts. Men in white trousers and shirts, and women in white dresses and petticoats, move about the grounds with focused determination. The atmosphere is one of enjoyment and relaxation, as the group takes a break from their daily routines to partake in the popular sport of the time. The scene is reminiscent of a simpler era, before the onset of World War I, when people found joy in the simple pleasures of life. The image is a testament to the enduring appeal of tennis as a social activity and the importance of community and friendship. The tranquil setting of Hanger Hill Tennis Club in Ealing, with its picturesque greenery and idyllic surroundings, adds to the overall charm of the photograph.
