It is now difficult to imagine the green and the club in the early days. The streets and the buildings that now surround it were either just built, half built or not built at all. The Dean estate stretched from Dean park street to orchard Brae and Comely Bank Road to the south Learmonth Gardens and this was the Club's catchment area. The Clubhouse was very small and number of bowlers in the area was very limited. However, membership reached 77 within a few months and competitive play against other clubs beagn in 1901. Though the proposed fixture list was submitted to the Edinburgh East Scotland Bowling Annual for 1901 lists Parsons Green, it would appear that the first match was a home fixture v Dunlop, the Dean winning 45 up. This was followed by a 46-45 win v Blackhall away.first clubhouse was built 1900 (pictured below) and other parts added later over the years to what the clubhouse looks like now. for more history of the club, why not become a member and chat to others who can fill you in on the history of the club, and take a look at the honour boards around the clubhouse.
