Fives Court, Newport, Middlesbrough 1970s: A Glimpse into the Past This evocative photograph captures the essence of Fives Court in Newport, Middlesbrough during the 1970s. The image transports us back in time, inviting us to explore the history and community that once thrived within these walls. Fives Court, a multi-purpose sports and social club, was a beloved institution in the heart of Newport. The name 'Fives' refers to the popular game of the same name, which was a staple activity at the court. The game, also known as 'Squash Rackets,' is a fast-paced and skillful sport played with a small rubber ball and a racket. The game's name comes from the number of players involved - five. The photograph shows two young boys, Robin and Dale, engrossed in a game of Fives, their concentration evident on their faces. The court's worn-out bricks and faded paint serve as a reminder of the passage of time. The surrounding trees and foliage add a touch of natural beauty to the scene. The 1970s was an era of change and progress in Middlesbrough. The town was undergoing significant transformation, with new industries and developments emerging. Yet, despite the changes, Fives Court remained a constant presence, providing a space for community, recreation, and camaraderie. This photograph is a precious snapshot of a bygone era, offering a glimpse into the history and heritage of Fives Court and the people of Newport, Middlesbrough. It serves as a reminder of the importance of preserving our past and celebrating the memories and traditions that shape our communities.
