Image: 1920s Cromarty Tennis Club Panorama
Description: This is a photograph taken during a break in a tennis match at the Sydney Lawn Tennis Courts (now Cromarty Tennis Club) dated ca. late 1920s. The picture is a series of 4 photographs placed together. No longer grass, the courts have changed to clay by the time of this photograph. Notable features, besides that of the players themselves, are the numerous straw boaters - a traditional hat for tennis matches of the period - the variety of ladies summer hats, boys wool caps, and a number of vehicles, including, perhaps two Ford Model T's (1908-1928), one with its roof clearly raised into position. The 4-door limousine with the spare on the fender and distinctive door handle locations is reminiscent of at least 5 vehicle types: Phianna (1916-1921), Packard (1920 Model 3-35 Twin-Six Sedan), Pierce Arrow (1921 Model 32 Vestibule Sedan), Lincoln (1922-1928 Limousine), and the Franklin (1924 Model C and 1926 Model A Sedan). All of the houses still exist today. The photograph came from the collection of the Northside Historical Society. Cromarty Tennis Club is a private tennis club situated in the community of Sydney, part of Nova Scotia's Cape Breton Regional Municipality. Cromarty Tennis Club is one of the oldest tennis clubs in Nova Scotia, established at its present location along Reservoir Brook (formerly Wentworth Creek or Sullivan's Brook), in Sydney in 1902.
