The way we used to be thread

Fantastic photos.

That's interesting about the Cabbage Hall Bowling club. Couldn't say for sure if it was known as Walton Park. Although it could well be, as that bit of Anfield was under the boundary of Walton On the Hill (could still be).
The bowling green is still there at the back of the Cabbage Hall pub but no longer in use.

My grandfather played in a bowls team ( in the 1950's & early 60's) - he played for Walton Hall Park. I think the greens where somewhere by or behind the Alsop school. I'll ask my dad tomorrow.
He might know about the Cabbage Hall team.

Maybe our grandads played against each other !

Thanks Lindy. It wouldn't surprise me if they did play against each other. My grandad, Jimmy Nash was still playing bowls when he was into his late 70s!
