Hello,
     Is it my eyes or is that a cleat about 3/4 way up on the right hand side of the post?
     Regards,     Dod.

If it's a Tennis post could it be like this.

IF   it was a tennis Court, which there is no evidence that it is,  there would be Lines marked out with a Lime Wash.  Secondly there is no room  for a proper court.

From the look of some of the trees it is possibly late Spring, therefore a tennis court would not be marked out at that time of year.

We don't know where the photographer is standing, so can't say how much of the garden is behind him.

If that post was 9' high, however tall do you think the photographer was?

Or even early spring - the tall deciduous trees on the left seem to have no leaves at all, which could even indicate winter, though since there are some flowers (tulips? daffs?) in front of the house and daisies in the lawn it can't be too early in the year. A lot would depend on how mild the weather was that year, but it's clearly outside the tennis season.

It's before Wimbledon fortnight - nobody plays tennis until after Wimbledon, then you can't get an empty court anywhere!

Not an official court but perhaps a couple of posts so that the occupants could set up a net an have a knockabout game.

I once lived in a house, built between the wars, where there were two post holders made of concrete set opposite each other at the edge of the lawn. The lawn was fairly long but not as wide as a full tennis court. It was just for a bit of fun and exercise.

Maybe it's where they tie the dog up when he's naughty

It is pure speculation  to  draw any conclusion that it is a Tennis Court  from the evidence of ONE post.

You're absolutely right, of course. However, given the context, and  the flat area of grass, I think I would go with a 3'6" tennis net pole rather than a 9' bird of prey perch.
