Description:The house known as 'The Green' is thought to date from the 1730s. A ladies' boarding school in the early 1800s, it was purchased by Cannock Urban District Council in 1927 and was opened as The Council House in 1928. In the 1980s it was aquired by Cannock Chase Technical College.
The Bowling Green is mentioned by Staffordshire historian Stebbing Shaw as being "in the year 1753 ... encompassed by a hansom brick wall". The mid-1800s saw a great deal of wrangling between the bowlers and the Local Board (later to become Cannock Urban Council) over ownership of the green. In 1896 a Deed of Trust was signed by both parties to ensure the green remained a bowling green forever.
