Lindley Bowling Club
The club, which is situated down Daisy Lea Lane, is known as ‘the hidden gem’ because of its secluded and picturesque setting.
It was founded in 1894 and for the next 100 years the green was mainly used for social bowling. It was also a male-only club.
In 1995 it was decided to enter a six-man team in the Brighouse Veterans League and the following year they entered a team in the Huddersfield Veterans League.
It was in 2012 that the club opened its doors to lady members and the club now boasts 21 teams in various leagues and this year has a team in the Huddersfield Junior League.
