A tennis court in front of a part of the former Nottingham Children's Hospital, as viewed from the Chestnut Grove entrance/exit. This section may be a part of the extensions funded by John Dane Player in 1939? The oldest part of the complex was once the home of Sir Thomas Isaac Birkin, the lace manufacturer, who donated the house and grounds for conversion into a paediatric hospital in 1905 when he was created 1st Baronet of Ruddington Grange. It served as a children's hospital until the early 1980s, after which it became the HQ for Nottinghamshire Health Authority and subsequently the HQ of the Nottingham Health Authority. It is now owned and used by an Islamic Trust.
