  "First there was Real tennis...then fives. The combination of rackets and fives sparked the creation of squash at the Harrow School outside London. Harrow boys were addicted to rackets. The chief place to play at Harrow was in the schoolyard that surrounded Old Schools, the main school building. One special nook of the schoolyard was called "The Corner." It had two good side walls and a front wall with a buttress which dropped the ball straight down and a waterpipe that might send it anywhere"....James Zug  read on

 Squash ball history from  Squash Player "the fact that they were squashy is about all we know about the balls first used back in the mid-19th century by the chaps at Harrow. Originally it was a case of needs must: a rackets ball was too hard and therefore too fast to be suitable for knocking about in the narrow confines of those early ‘courts’ (nothing more than two or three walls adjacent to the rackets court). Almost anything would do – even a child’s rubber ball." Read on......
