These terracotta bricks were made by PGH Clay Bricks and Pavers, Towson Road, Scholfields, NSW, and approximately 500 names were imprinted in memory of tennis greats and supporters. The project was initiated by The Friends of the NSW Tennis Association Inc. in 1989 as a fund-raising campaign to help refit a new building for the Australian Tennis Museum when it was based at White City.
A brick was made for every winner of the NSW title and otherwise, individuals or clubs could buy a brick with their name imprinted for $50.00 and have it laid beside Centre Court at White City. In 2000 the brick pavers were moved to the new site of Tennis NSW at Sydney International Tennis Centre, Sydney Olympic Park. They are now installed outside the entry of the Sydney International Tennis Centre.
