The first Wimbledon tournament was held in 1877, to raise money for a pony-drawn roller for the All-England Club's croquet lawns. The pony roller can still be seen near the stop netting on Centre Court - because it is too wide to remove through the exits.

I wondered what it was doing there!!
Watching Wimbledon now.
Saw an interview of Bjorn Borg & John McEnroe before the match started and that reminded me of your earlier post.
Hi Carol,
You can actually spot it during telecasts - the next time you play on Centre Court, tell us all about it!
Cheers

Hi Cuckoo,
I watched the start of the game and then it was too close to midnight!
Cheers
David
