The Manchester Tennis and Racquets Club is a "perfect example of a Victorian Sporting Club with many impressive original features". They have been established in this characterful building on Blackfriars Road for nearly 140 years. The game of "real tennis" that is played here dates from the 15th century; rackets was a 19th century game developed in prisons. Squash, a modern interloper, is played here too.
Love this building. Very nice Chrissy. Thank you.
