The old Canterbury bowlo. Former Canterbury Lawn Bowling Club, now abandoned. Founded in 1956, but gradually lost popularity in its last couple of decades. After a failed community effort to keep the bar going, closed in 2013 and disused ever since in a long debate over future usage. As a compromise, looks like it will be leased by the Local Govt. council for two years as a works depot for the new Metro rail project, after which it will somehow become a public reserve, adding to adjacent riverside parkland. The clubhouse is set to be demolished despite having one of the largest sprung dance-floors in Australia in the lower level (not seen here). The abandoned greens are on some handy acres next to the Sydenham-Bankstown Railway. At least it seems to have been saved from more of the nearby high-rise residential apartment developments.
