History

In the early 1930s the Cornish Riviera Club was constructed that included two large indoor tennis courts.^[2] In 1936 Carlyon Bay Covered Court Championships were established. In the late 1960s the tournament was ended due to the venue becoming a live music venue and was renamed as the New Cornish Riviera Lido.^[3] The venue later became known as the Cornwall Coliseum.
