Westwood Works 1903-2003 |
|||||||||||||||
The Westwood Works Rifle Club had been in existence for many years before it was taken over by the Sports Club in December 1926. An outdoor Rifle Range was provided on site at the Works, opened in May 1935 by Mr. Allan R. Baker and extended in September 1940, despite the outbreak of war. The "Black Shed" was built at the end of the Rifle range in 1947 to store the Club's equipment. We believe that this range was used for large-bore (.303) rifle shooting.
The small-bore rifle and pistol range behind the clubhouse in Alma Road was, we understand, built in 1936 on the site of the first bowling green. This range was extensively re-furbished in 1974.
