IAN FINN 808 Posted February 23, 2020 Report Share Posted February 23, 2020 There was a pub i think it was called The Bowling Green it was close to the Dungeon Club called in for a drink there in 1967 is it still there? Can not remember the street name. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Willow wilson 894 Posted February 23, 2020 Report Share Posted February 23, 2020 Ian, cast your mind back to the 60s, imagine you are outside the Sawyers arms then walk away from town past the bottom of Stanford street along Greyfriar gate until you arrive at a roundabout at the junction of Greyfriar gate/Canal st/Maid Marian way. Look across the roundabout and there is the Bowling Green. It's number 52 on Trogg's map at the top of this thread. It's no longer there, the area has been redeveloped. In the early 60s the pub had an impressive Rock Ola juke box which, due to much repetitive playing, must have worn out their copy of Please Please me. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Cliff Ton 10,464 Posted February 23, 2020 Report Share Posted February 23, 2020 The Bowling Green was later renamed The Narrow Boat in its later years before eventual demolition. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
