Bowlin Park is a public park opened in 1880 with additional features added in the early C20.

In the late 1870s Bradford Council purchased large areas of land, including part of the former grounds of Bolling (or Bowling) Hall (listed grade II), which had been mined for coal and ironstone during the early C19. Competitive plans for a new public park were invited in March 1878 and those of Kershaw & Hepworth of Brighouse were accepted in June of that year (Bentley 1926).

The following details of the cut mark were obtained from the OS website and typing the following coordinates 53,46,39.92,W,1,44,12.11.
