Located on each side of the (NE) pathway, past Rebecca at the Well Statue and over the Rustic
Bridge are the three Bowling Greens.
The first new Bowling Green complete with a Shelter Pavillion on the right of the pathway was opened
4 Sep 1878, constructed on the northside of the 20 Ton Boulder erected at an earlier date.
A second Bowling Green without a Pavillion was opened 13 May 1894, constructed adjacent to the
first one, also on the right side of the pathway .
The Park Committee met at the Park for the sole purpose of formally opening the new Bowling Geen
and for the re-opening of the then old Bowling Green
The third and final new Bowling Green, again without a Pavillion, was opened 14 Jun1911, constructed adjoining the Boating Lake at the lower end on the opposite side (SW) of the pathway to the other two.

Message reads, Dear Ruth.
I thank you very much indeed for your lovely p.c, but I had much rather you had brought yourself. I think you have been awfully mean. You promised me faithfully you would come up the first week of the holidays & tell one where you were going. I could then have sent you some lovely p.cs but I didn't know where you were. I fully expected you for tea every day of the first week. In fact I felt quite hurt about it. I wish to go to some classes this winter 3 nights. Could you advise we. Isn't winter coming quickly. Hope your Dad & Mother are well.
Love to all Annie.
