1885 – Bowling Green Hotel, Kenilworth, Warwickshire

Architect: James P. Norrington

0027

The original Bowling Green Inn stood on the site now occupied by this more modern structure of the Abbey Hotel. In its day it had a local reputation and a very large patronage. The name was derived from the large bowling green to the side of the house. Part of the old Bowling Green Inn structure was demolished to create a new road in 1884. The new Bowling Green Hotel opened in November 1886. The name was later changed to Abbey Hotel.
