Shadwell Tennis Club
Shadwell Tennis Club started in the 1970s when the owner of the Old Hall at Shadwell offered a few people the chance to play tennis on an existing court in their garden. Eventually a formal Club was established and the land was purchased. Adjacent land was acquired later and a second court was built, and subsequently a clubhouse. The club is a registered Community Amateur Sports Club (CASC) and member of Leeds Sports Federation.
