The Full Entry

Look East Visit Little Downham Pub (1984)

Published Monday, January 8th, 2007 by Karl Bedingfield

1984: Arcade games such as Space Invaders, Galaxian and Donkey Kong were worldwide hits but one enterprising local businessman decided to ignore that trend and bring the excitement of lawn bowls to the table. Ladies and Gentleman I give you Jack High Table Bowls!

It’s as near outdoor bowls as you are going to get.

An Anchor Regular

Look East’s cameras visited Little Downham’s Anchor Pub and interviewed some regulars on their views of Jack High Table Bowls. Many people will recognise the faces in the film, indeed my own brother Neil can be seen along with Ian Kidd, Nicholas Atkinson, but can anyone identify any of the other regulars? Leave a comment if you can.
