Join Philip Boys for more heritage stories - this time about the Common’s colourful sporting past - prodigious hopping achievements, bare knuckle fighting, hare-and-hounds, stag-hunts, sparrow-shoots, ice skating, pedestrianism, quoits, velocipide racing, etc etc - AND how it all radically reshaped the Common
