Great Meols Bowls Club

bowlsDid you know that the Great Meols Bowls Club has a website? Well it does and you visit it right here.

Situated in School Lane opposite Meols Park, the well maintained bowling green has proved to be popular for many years. Older Meols residents will recall that on the other side of the much-improved club house there used to be a few lawn tennis courts. I can even remember buying the odd ticket myself from the lady in the ticket office back in the late 70′s

Here’s the view from the platform at Meols Station taken on a recent family trip out to Liverpool. It only cost £4 return for all of us thanks to the Christmas Cracker fare promotion.

You’ll be seeing some improvements being made to the station soon – Meols has been selected as one of 7 stations on the Merseyrail network to receive funding from the National Stations Improvement Programme. I can’t find details of improvements are to be made …so we’ll just have to wait and see!

Can anybody tell me what’s inside this little green cabinet that’s on the corner of Parkway (Park Road end)? It’s quite an unusual looking cabinet and I guess it holds a meter or phone equipment of some sort?

The padlock looks reasonably new suggesting the cabinet is being maintained.
