History

[edit]

The Essex Championships were established in 1881 at Brentwood Essex, England [2] and continued to be staged there until 1884. In 1887 the event was then staged Leyton. It changed location again in 1888 and was held in Chingford till 1889. It switched back to Leyton, Essex for one year only in 1890. From 1891 it moved to the Cambridge Grounds, Colchester[3] where it remained until 1918. Staged briefly at Frinton-on-Sea in 1919 it then moved to Southend-on-Sea until 1922.[4] In 1923 the championships were held at Westcliff-on-Sea[2] till 1946. The championships returned to Frinton-on-Sea and stayed there till the tournament was abolished after eighty five editions in 1983. The event featured both men's and women's singles, doubles and mixed doubles competitions.[5]
