Bowling Green in High Street

Sometimes the history of these places is almost forgotten,
this patch of ground was on the 1812 map recorded as 'Old Bowling Green'

Located in High Street (Now Greenhead Street) - High Street, so called because
it was higher than 'Lower Street' - which is now Queen Street.

NOTE: This area has been completely cleared and a housing development completed 

Old Bowling Green on a 1812 map of Burslem

This is the narrow passageway which ran (2000) from the 
Bowling Green through the potworks to Market Place
and the Town Hall.

now cleared and replaced by housing - previously
it must have been in constant use by pottery workers, children going to  
the ragged school and people using their little leisure
time at the bowling green.
