Shropshire Squash
Shortly after the Second World War, a group of teachers at Shrewsbury School became interested in the emerging and enticing game of squash. The sport itself had evolved out of racket ball and from a similar school in Harrow. They arranged for a single court to be built on the main campus. This court was used for many years by both the staff and the boys.
The progress that was made
The present facility and courts were built in 1979 during the Headmastership of Eric Anderson and where a generous donation from the Simaan family. At the request of the family the facilities were to be made available to the local community, in the form of a cooperative squash club.
Continuous Development
Previously known as Shrewsbury Schools Squash Club, then Kingsland Squash Club, the Shropshire Squash Club was created in 2017 and has since gone from strength to strength with a growing membership as the premier squash and racketball club in Shropshire.
