The Saracen's Head Bowling Green (19th century)
Anonymous
The Saracen's Head in
The Tything had a large bowling green behind during the
19th century, which has since been built over. Sansome
Walk which runs parallel to The Tything and Foregate Street
was established in the 18th century as a promenade for
this elegant suburb. The obelisk from the north end can
still be found in the grounds of St Oswald's Hospital.
