Tinsley Green is an area in the Borough of Crawley, one of seven local government districts in the English county of West Sussex. Originally a hamlet in the parish of Worth,[1] it was absorbed by the New Town of Crawley in the 1940s and became part of the Pound Hill neighbourhood. As well as houses, farms and woodland, it became the site of the 1930s aerodrome at Gatwick—now London Gatwick Airport. The airport's first railway station was briefly known as Tinsley Green. The game of marbles has a strong local tradition, and Tinsley Green's pub hosts the British and World Marbles Championship each year.
The pub at Tinsley Green hosts an annual competition attracting players from all over the world. Marbles is an ancient and skilled game in which competitors aim to knock 49 marbles from a marked circle using their own “tolley” (another marble); two teams of six players take part in each heat and the winning team is the one whose tolley/s stay in until the end (you can probably tell I’m no expert…it’s probably best to check up the rules at the event). The Pub has a purpose built platform for the championship which dates back in its current form to the 1930s, though the tradition of a competition here reputedly goes back to Elizabethan times.
