Bowles Rocks
Bowles Rocks is a sandstone crag in the county of East Sussex, on the border with Kent, approximately south of the town of Royal Tunbridge Wells. It is popular with rock climbers due to the excellent, south-facing, quick-drying rock, the range of climbs and the ease of access. It is one of the cluster of local outcrops known as Southern Sandstone. History Bowles Rocks was cleared in the early 1960s by John Walters, who was inspired to set up a 'rock climbing gymnasium'. Previously the site had been used as a firing range during the Second World War and to house pigs – hence the climb named Pig's Nose and area called Range Wall.

Bowles Hall is a coed residential college at the University of California, Berkeley, known for its unique traditions, parties, and camaraderie. Designed by George W. Kelham, the building was the first residence hall on campus, dedicated in 1929, and was California's first state-owned residence hall. It was built in 1928 with a $350,000 grant from Mary McNear Bowles in memory of her husband, Berkeley alumnus and University of California Regent Phillip E. Bowles. Mr. Bowles was said to have three loves: horses, horticulture and the University of California.
