They used to be called 'alleys' when I was a kid.
That's right, Zubrman - alleys, and the ball bearings were called 'dobbers', and there were occasionally some kids who turned up with alleys made of pot rather than glass. We called those alleys 'donks'!
We used to have bags of 'em. No batteries needed and, like that game the French play, boules, yer could play anywhere there was a bit of rough ground, the rougher the better - if yer had any dobbers!
