pall mall

A 17th-century game in which a boxwood ball was struck with a mallet to drive it through an iron ring suspended at the end of an alley.

Thanks very much Jazzgirl

Hi Jazzgirl. You probably won't return to this post to see my post:

I believe the answer is pell mell not pall mall. Pall Mall was the location that Samuel Pepys first saw the game played in London. A tricky clue.

This shows the ball game as Pall Mall

Although alternative spellings are also shown.

I entered online and its defo pall mall for the answer they want.
