BRIEF HISTORY OF MARGATE BOWLING CLUB

The bowling club has been based at its current location in Cliftonville since 1922.  

The club was initially formed some centuries ago in the heart of Margate in an area now known as Old Town. The club/green moved to Zion Place in the early 19th century, and then relocated to Hartsdown Road in the mid-1800s where it remained until it moved to its present location in Cliftonville.
