Stanley and family were members of Headstone Lawn Tennis Club from the 1920s. Photo evidence is from around 1926 and continues through to 1951 at the latest. The later photographs were taken by Basil – Stanley’s son.
Headstone Lawn Tennis Club
The tennis club is still thriving and some of the history of the club can be found here
Stanley’s photo contribution
Photos from mid 1920s. Dated from the appearance of Jean (born 1920) and Basil (born 1922) in several of the images. Images selected on the basis of relevance to the club.
Stanley’s film contribution
The Headstone tennis club section of the 9.5mm films is the largest single part of Stanley’s films. Date is uncertain but around 1927/8 at a guess. Some rather dull fireworks section has been edited out. This film can be found on you-tube:-
Basil’s photo contribution
These images are primarily captured from loose 120 roll film negatives. These date from 1948 to 1951. Basil was demobbed in May 1948 and rejoined the RAF at the start of 1952.
