The bowling as a game doesn’t seems to be changed much, its same today as it was in 1960s, very interesting 🤩
10 pin bowling goes back even further to the early 1800s, though mechanized like this came much later.
@@nathanventura548 that’s interesting
@@udayksagareven more interesting is that bowling in general dates back 5000+ years
The balls themselves have changed dramatically. Today they have off center weights to help them to curve into the pins with spin on the ball.
Огромное спасибо автору этого канала! Потрясающая атмосфера...
Enjoyed it in the 60’s and still enjoy it with friends. Brother made pocket money in the 60’s stacking the pins manually before the bowling alley mechanized it.
It was really awesome to see the mechanisms of the toys and also the bowling game!!!
It was old stuff that looks like it had much more modern technology!!! ✌🏻😄😊
Always liked that very distinctive sound of the pins being knocked down… also used to like those wild ‘bowling shoes’!
Thank you
Good channel ❤
"Big Brother, the babysitter of tomorrow" 😂 And seriously, the first bowling alley in the UK in 1960? I also had no idea that bowling was invented in -America,- the *United States.*
Well, kind of. Ten pin evolved from the far more ancient nine pin bowling.
Very interesting
I lived nearby and have fond memoriesof spending many happy hours there
I would go back to the London of that time in a heartbeat. Ruined now
I mean life was worse then but alright.
@@cait812financially worse but socially so much better. People had manners, dressed better, were slim, hardworking and took pride in their environment
The last one is very much similar to my unskilled throw
These machines are _automatic pin setters_ I asked a man who, as a boy, was a pin setter what a _semi-automatic_ pinsetter was. He told me that they filled the setter by hand and then lifted a bail to remove it. A semi-automatic setter had a button you could push that would raise it with power.
He said it made a huge difference.
muito bom parabéns 😊😅
I think VAR should be introduced! 😅😄😅
Its called a *Bowling **_Hall_* An Alley is just one lane. It's funny as most people call multiple alleys a Bowling alley.
You don't say a pool table but a pool hall.
my Uncles opened one in the 50s after the war
My one uncle sent a design change in to Brunswick but did it wrong. Brunswick stole his idea of using a bicycle wheel to return the ball faster. The faster you get the ball, the faster you play your game, the more games that can be played in a day.
I wonder what these 60's people think of what London has become today... Hmm, that'd be so interesting indeed.
That would be the equivalent of asking someone who was around in 1896 what they thought of 1960... things change.
They would say you have been sold out.
Before a night of bowling cost $80
Well, did it?
Your comment reminds me of Rachel from Freinds.

Big brother is watching 🍿👁️ because mother is busy bowling. 🎳
But do these moms have a pager to inform them if their kid falls off a horse or bites other kid's finger?
these are british children from a bygone era, the build tolerance exceeds your awareness.
They don't need to because there is a person there watching over everyone.
I can barely remember being in one...in the US.
The arrangement with the 4:3 frame on the right looks clumsy. The typeface and font size on the left are sloppy. I would understand this approach if you updated the info on the left at regular intervals. All in all, this looks bad.
Thanks for the feedback - this is the 'pilot' in a new highlights series so the formatting may change.
