News: Fives Courts Tatershall Drive

Tuesday, November 29, 2005 - 12:26 AM

My name is Ben Price. I am at present on a quest to play "Fives" at every Fives Court in this country within the next ten tears. I have also untertaken some research into the whereabouts of Fives Courts past and present. I recently did an internet search on "Fives Nottingham" and I came across an entry for planning permission in 1909 and i quote:

ref NPE P3/218/1-2 "two plans for two Fives Courts T Cartwright at Tattershall Drive1909"

This was a Nottingham University Historical Records website.

Could any resident let me know if they were

1. Ever Built
2. Still in existence
3. Converted into garage, house etc.
4. Still being used
5. Has anyone got a church buttress in their garage or living room and wonder what it is. (Eton Fives has a church butress sticking out in the middle of the court -believe it or not) see Eton Fives Website.

They must be on Tattershall drive somewhere.

Thanks Ben Price
