It is safe to say that more Wimbledon champions have played on Centre Court at Church Road, Wimbledon, than any other tennis court in England. But which is the private tennis court to hold that record?"
Hello - my name is Bruce Tarran (Leicestershire Club Coach). I am author of “George Hillyard – the man who moved Wimbledon,” about the pioneer days of tennis and the remarkable stories of the men and women who lived the early tennis dream.
Mark Cox wrote the foreword. The book begins with the question at the top of this mail - then tells you about the court, where it is, the people who played on it, the person who owned it, and the absolutely amazing things he (and they) did at Wimbledon and around the world!
With Christmas coming, what can you get for yourself, or someone who likes tennis and doesn't need more tennis balls? Answer - this large new high-quality hardback book of early tennis history, with many previously untold stories and loads of unique, never before seen, old photos.I’ve attached some photos with this mail. There are 194 in the book!!!
The book has had large national media coverage. Possibly the quickest way to decide whether you'll like it is to read two short introductory chapters at www.tarrantennis.co.uk/GeorgeHillyard.html.
You can buy the book at www.amazon.co.uk/books/dp/1780885490– reduced, and post free in the UK.

You can download for your Kindle at www.amazon.co.uk/George-Hillyard-The-moved-Wimbledon-ebook/dp/B00DFYMR1S.
