Cheers Grace!
my dad is reading it and he showed it me so I showed him your blog 🙂
If you look to the right in the middle distance of this photo of the rear of the Rotunda you can see the tennis court.
I have a copy. I wanted a second one for a friend and tried every book shop possible for the last week to no avail.
