ELI5: Explain Like I'm 5

Hockley-in-the-Hole

Hockley-in-the-Hole was a place a long time ago in London where people would go to watch plays, have fun, and buy things from markets. It was kind of like a big outdoor shopping mall with entertainment.

But, the name Hockley-in-the-Hole is also famous because it was the name of a game people played there. The game involved rolling a ball towards a target, and whoever got closest to the target won. It was kind of like mini golf but without the clubs.

Nowadays, Hockley-in-the-Hole does not exist anymore, but it is still remembered as a place where people had a lot of fun and enjoyed playing games with their friends.
