When the original plans were made to develop some of the Bute Estate a number of 'town square gardens' were included in them. Opened on December 28th, 1889, the gardens included a tennis court; by June 1914 this bowling green was declared open by the Lord Mayor. See Image] for a rather more pointed look at the building.
