NEHL - A bowling green was constructed between St. Laurence's Church and the Ropner Convalescent Home in what appears to be the late 19th century. The bowling green was owned by the Convalescent home, founded in 1894 and was used as a military hospital in WWI. As a result, it's likely this was constructed alongside the wider complex.
The green can be seen on a photograph from the mid 1920s.
