Description
Bowling Green Bridge is a rustic bridge built around 1806 for the 6th Duke of Leeds of Hornby Castle. It is constructed of rubble and features a narrow design with five round arches. The arches are supported by rock piers that are protected by elm boards, and the arches themselves are made of bold rubble voussoirs. Above a band, there is a smaller rubble parapet. The bridge separates two of the four lakes in Hornby Park, specifically the Bowling Green Pond and the Long Pond, which were formed between 1790 and 1805. The name "Bowling Green" comes from the bowling green that, along with a 9-hole golf course and tennis courts, created pleasure gardens after the demolition of the Old Vicarage, which was replaced between 1828 and 1829.
