The skittle alleys of St Luke's - there were 3!

by the St Luke's Heritage Group for Futures Past

There were 3 skittle alleys on St Luke’s with fierce rivalry between them. The Princess Royal on the opposite side to the steps was the oldest (1890s) and the largest. For a short while, the Cumberland was both Bristol league champions and cup winners and would have had bragging rights. The Boar’s Head completed the group and current owner of Piglets, Kevin was once himself a ‘sticker-upper’ in his youth.
