The Cardiff Times. June 19th 1886.
‘The institution of this meeting is primarily due to the energy and liberality of the Penarth Lawn Tennis Club and its president, Lord Windsor, who has proved a great benefactor to it, and through it to the game. The grounds of this club, which are very prettily situated, commanding as they do extensive views, including that of the Bristol Channel, is in the Rectory-road, Penarth, within an easy distance of the railway station.
Two years ago it was a rough untended field, but now it assumes the garb of fashionable nature, with its green well-kept lawns adorned by a handsome pavilion, the erection of which is also due to the worthy president of the club, who has expended some £12,000 in making the whole as perfect as it well can be’.
