Was tha any other young uns used te gan lawn bowlin in the late 1950's, orly 1960's in Bedlin'ton? Me an' me mate, Brian Goodwill, used te gan lawn bowlin' quite often at the bowlin' lawns ah think were ahint the retired miner's cottages. The forst time we went the ahd gadgies didn't think we were serious but afta a few teyms they were very welcomin', Ahd afore wa teym ah suppose.

A worthwhile pastime Paul.

Everyone in France seems to play boules.

It would be great to have young and old involved here.

Maybe they are and I just have not heard.

You and Brian were ahead of your time.

Some might say!
