On 27th July 1932 The Evening Chronicle reported on Consett Park Bowling Club's second annual single-handed competition.
It would be interesting to know more about this competition - how much it cost to enter, how many bowlers entered, who won, and how much it raised for the Murray Hospital. If you know any more, please contact us.
The Richard Murray Memorial Hospital, later to become the NHS Richard Murray Maternity Hospital (1947-71), was built in 1913 from an endowment of £50,000 left by him.
