Fears raised over sale of historic bowling club

Concerns have been raised about the sale of a historic bowling club situated just yards from a former haunt of The Beatles in West Derby.

The home of West Derby Bowling Club on Haymans Green - including a large Victorian property used as a clubhouse - car park, bowling green, pavilion, garage, ancillary building and grounds, have been listed for sale for £1.1m. The land and buildings are described as a “potential new development or redevelopment opportunity situated in an established, high quality residential neighbourhood” by chartered surveyors Legat Owen.

Now, the West Derby Society has spoken out against the potential sale, questioning the viability of new developments in the area. The bowling club is a stone’s throw away from the former Casbah Coffee Club on Haymans Green, where it is said The Beatles really began.
