Ipswich Sports Club

Ipswich Tennis Club began life around 1870.  After moving around for many years, the big step forward was the move to Henley Road in 1947.  At the time when Tennis was being very successful nationally with the likes of Fred Perry performing on the international scene Ipswich Tennis Club played its part with the President’s wife, Jean Bostock being ranked number 1 in England.  It was not until 1980 that Ipswich Tennis Club finally became part of an integrated Ipswich Sports Club.  The 1980s and ‘90s saw the provision of floodlit and indoor Tennis.
