History

Attempts were made establish a large annual tournament in the County of Northumberland located in North East England, which led to the creation of the first Northumberland County Championships held at the South Northumberland Cricket Ground, Gosforth, Newcastle upon Tyne, Northumberland, England in July 1882.[3] However the tournament did not have a premenant home until 1924 when the Northumberland Lawn Tennis Ground Co Ltd was formed in order to secure permanent home for the Northumberland Open Tennis Tournament, and secondly, to provide a new permanent venue for Brandling Lawn Tennis Club, then the leading tennis club in the north east.[3]

The Northumberland Championships ran for 101 years, and was reasonably successful in attracting attract top players to it. The championships were not staged during World War I or World War II. It continued to be staged after the start of the open era in 1968 it later became known as the Northumberland Open,[4] longer than many other old tournaments with a great tradition. It remained a featured tournament in the annual tennis tours for a considerable time. In 1974 the host venue the Brandling Lawn Tennis Club merged with the Portland Lawn Tennis Club and the Osborne Lawn Tennis Club to create the Northumberland Club which continued to stage the championships tournament.[3]

Notable winners of the men's singles included Joseph Bruce Ismay (1884), Patrick Bowes-Lyon (1886–1888),[5] Harold Mahony (1891) and William Renshaw (1893), Pat Spence (1922) Cam Malfroy (1938), Ignacy Tłoczyński (1952) and John Lloyd (1977).
