Wimbledon Tennis Championship Staircase Signs - Old No.1 Court
Wimbledon Tennis Championships - Old No.1 Court Staircase signs (c.1990s)
From the All England Lawn Tennis & Croquet Club (AELTC) Wimbledon. Old Court No.1 seating signs for staircases 13, 15 ,16 and 64. Laminated inserts within a strong painted metal frame behind an acrylic pane. Measures 46cm x 39cm. Lovely in-situ condition with scuffs, marks and some white paint marks when the court gangways were repainted. Two of the signs have been labelled on the back.
Rescued during the demolishing of the Wimbledon’s historic No.1 court in 1997, these wonderful signs would have been located at the inner gangways and helped excited spectators find their seats.
The original No. 1 Court was built in 1924 and was attached to the west side of Centre Court. Originally it had a capacity of about 3,250 (2,500 seats and approximately 750 standing) which was increased over the years to 7,328. It was replaced in 1997 by the current No. 1 Court, with double the capacity of the old court and situated to the north of Centre Court in Aorangi Park. The site of the old court is now occupied by the Millennium Building, the media centre, and facilities for players, members, and officials.
