The Championships and The War

Due to the first world war, the Championships were suspended from 1915-19 but the All England Club survived due to donations from members and wealthy benefactors. 

By the time that the hostilities continued in 1939, the Wimbledon was already moved from Worple Rd to Church Rd becoming ever more resilient to a point.

However, on October 11th 1940, a 500lb bomb caused great damage to the club's ground. The championships were suspended but the grounds were being used for a variety of war-related purposes back then.
