Skittles remains a popular pub game in some English regions, particularly in the West Country and the Potteries area around Stoke on Trent. There are regional variations in the game which involves bowling a ball down an alley to knock down pins - this one was photographed at the Black Lion pub in London in 1955. A tabletop version is known as Devil among the Tailors or bar skittles. Picture: Three Lions/Getty Images
