This image is at slight odds with the records which we now have available to the Archive. Despite showing the young ladies enjoying tennis in the lower valley at Saltburn, it is understood that the school had purpose-built tennis courts on the what is now the site of the library on Windsor Road. However Callum Duff explains: ”I would imagine that Towers School used these tennis courts for competitions and their own for lessons. The land on either side of the valley offering the opportunity for pupils and staff to spectate as can be seen here.”
