Many a happy evening spent ten pin league bowling, I wonder if the bowl survives?
Every time I go past there, I think of my two and a bit years in the block closest to the A15 and Bowl/Swimming pool end, top floor, end room overlooking A15, I also spent many a time in both the bowl/pool, good times long gone.
