What is recorded here

Detached three-bay single-storey tennis pavilion, built c.1880, with verandah to front elevation, and two lean-to projections to rear. Pitched corrugated-iron roof with scalloped and pierced timber bargeboards to gables. Painted corrugated-iron cladding to walls on concrete plinth. Verandah with moulded timber cornice, chamfered timber posts and timber railings, with concrete pavement and accessed via concrete steps. Square-headed openings with timber casement windows and timber panelled door. Roughcast rendered boundary wall with rendered capped piers, having recent decorative metal double-leaf gates.
This structure is a simply designed but visually recognisable form. Its use of corrugated-iron for walls and roof, which is unusual for a public building, creates a building of appealing character. The verandah to the front is typical of sports pavilions in general.

This does not grant access. Most recorded buildings are privately owned; view them only from public ground unless the owner allows entry.
