Test Update

Well folks Eric Barklem has been doing some in depth research on the Ormskirk bowling greens question and has got almost every green on my list, these being.

Current Greens
1 & 2 Ormskirk Bowling Club’s Greens
3. Coronation Park
Former Greens
4. Windmill (now unused)
5. St Annes Social Centre (now unused)
6. Roper’s Arms (where the Co-op car park is)
7. Comrades Club (now the McCarthy & Stone flats)
8. Eureka (now a car park for the pub)
9. Dray & Horses (now Fat Italian on Derby Street)
10. Ormskirk Institute (it was at the rear of the building, now the back end of the bus station. This may have been used by a Golden Lion team)
11. Talbot (pub stood on Aughton Street on the current site of Iceland and the bowling green was approx where the back end of Aldi is now)
12. Queens Head (the green was not right by the pub but was on Moorgate approx where the Lunesdale car park is now, opposite Hesfords)

Can anyone locate the final one?  Eric thinks he has found one by Park Road near where Coronation Park is now, and possibly one near Bridge Street (which may be the Queens Head one mentioned above) but I will need to adjudicate those.  I think I have one more, can anyone find it?
