Bowler plaque - Hoop, Whip & Top, and Marbles

Erection date: 1995

This plaque shows children’s toys: marbles; a hoop and stick; a wooden top with whip (photo at ). We aren't aware of anything in particular connecting this court to children, other than it being a place where children might chose to play.

This cast-iron roundel is one of 22 - see Bowler's page for more details.
