History

The Bowling Green Ground was located to the north-west of Gainsborough town centre. It was an extremely basic ground; there were no spectator facilities, and canvas sheeting borrowed from the local Agricultural Society was erected around the ground when matches were played.[1]

Gainsborough used the Bowling Green Ground and Sincil Bank in Lincoln as an alternative venue when the Northolme was being used for cricket.[2] One match played at the ground was a 3–0 win over Blackpool on 19 April 1902. The site was later converted into housing.[1]
