Just partially visible here is a brick-built squash court. We boys never used it. It was I suppose for the school owners and staff only (and maybe friends of the owners). My guess is that it had been there for 20+ years before I went to school there as it didn't look new but on the other hand certainly not as old as the house. A c.1930s addition probably. As a youngster I didn't know about squash at all until I saw this building and it was explained briefly to me. There was no viewing gallery so hearing the thwacks and thumps, running players and calls was all we had to go by in our understanding. The sole entrance to it was an external door on the north side (far side in this picture) that opened straight onto the court.
