"There's a breathless hush in the Close to-night --
Ten to make and the match to win --
A bumping pitch and a blinding light,
An hour to play and the last man in.
And it's not for the sake of a ribboned coat,
Or the selfish hope of a season's fame,
But his Captain's hand on his shoulder smote --
'Play up! play up! and play the game!' "
(Vitai Lampada, Sir Henry Newbolt.)

Isn’t that a Covid garden or something similar now. Spent quite a few hours on there in the 60’s. Fives Court in the top right hand corner as we look at it. Can’t help but think it will soon become a hangout for all the dross of society.
