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. STEP BY STEP #### 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. ![Screenshot 2025-04-22 at 06.28.41](https://shropshiresquashclub.co.uk/hs-fs/hubfs/Screenshot%202025-04-22%20at%2006.28.41.png?width=2000&height=1320&name=Screenshot%202025-04-22%20at%2006.28.41.png "Screenshot 2025-04-22 at 06.28.41") ![Screenshot 2025-04-16 at 08.52.26](https://shropshiresquashclub.co.uk/hs-fs/hubfs/Screenshot%202025-04-16%20at%2008.52.26.png?width=1406&name=Screenshot%202025-04-16%20at%2008.52.26.png "Screenshot 2025-04-16 at 08.52.26") WHERE WE ARE NOW #### 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.   # Shropshire Squash Gallery - ![1](https://shropshiresquashclub.co.uk/hs-fs/hubfs/1.png?width=1134&height=830&name=1.png) - ![2](https://shropshiresquashclub.co.uk/hs-fs/hubfs/2.png?width=1132&height=832&name=2.png) - ![3](https://shropshiresquashclub.co.uk/hs-fs/hubfs/3.png?width=1132&height=834&name=3.png) - ![4](https://shropshiresquashclub.co.uk/hs-fs/hubfs/4.png?width=1138&height=832&name=4.png) - ![5](https://shropshiresquashclub.co.uk/hs-fs/hubfs/5.png?width=1132&height=830&name=5.png) - ![6](https://shropshiresquashclub.co.uk/hs-fs/hubfs/6.png?width=1002&height=746&name=6.png) ## The Best Squash Club in Shropshire **Shropshire Squash Club** **Ashton Road** **Shrewsbury** **SY3 7AA** **m: 07859 123 417**   - [Privacy Policy](https://shropshiresquashclub.co.uk/privacy-policy) - [Safeguarding Policy](https://shropshiresquashclub.co.uk/safeguarding-policy) Shropshire Squash © 2025.
