From “Pastime”, August 10, 1887: “The first annual tournament of the Nottinghamshire Lawn Tennis Association was held at the Trentbridge Ground on Friday and Saturday last. This being the first attempt to hold a county meeting, considerable interest was felt in the proceedings. The entries were fairly numerous and included several well-known players. Ten courts were provided, half of them being in front of the new pavilion, thus giving a capital vantage ground for sightseers.”
