A corner of the memorial garden on the High School side of the arboretum showing the Chinese Bell Tower and the Sebastapol cannons. Beyond the hedge the clubhouse of the Nottingham Proprietary Bowling Green Club can be seen. The entrance to this private lawn bowls club is at No.29 Addison Street. It seems that the club was developed on some former farm land - circa 1901 - by a collection of city mill owners and industrialists for their exclusive benefit and that of their families.
