The 'STUTE' - Photographs - Today is
The Hollow,
Earl Shilton, in the 1920's.
Earl Shilton is built on a long ridge and the Hollow is so called because it is a
recognisable dip in that ridge. The large area here provided a forum for travelling fairs, morris dancers, wakes and
other community gatherings. There was once a giant mangle here, belonging to the Raven family which was used by the
public to wring out their laundry. Today the Earl Shilton Building Society offices are prominent on the far side of the
road. It was founded in 1857 and first met in the Royal Oak public house a little further along High Street.
