Some photos from the IRTA archives

Mostly for historical interest, here are scans of some old
hard-copy photos in the IRTA archives, taken in or around the year
2000.
Visit to Troon real tennis court, c.1995
As of 2013, the court is intact but on the ‘Buildings at
Risk’ register
(see its
entry for more details and history). It was threatened with
demolition in
2007; the IRTA
objected to this at the time, along with c.250 others.
Replica half Real Tennis court, 2000
As part of a sports expo held in The Point (as it then was) in or
around the year 2000, the IRTA constructed a replica of the hazard
end of a real tennis court. They explained the game to visitors,
and also the important part the Earlsfort Terrace court plays in
Ireland's sporting heritage.
Miscellaneous photos of court
Probably taken around 2000, showing exterior and interior of the
court.
