The 'STUTE' - History - - Today is
The Social Institute was founded at the end of the 19th
century to cater for the social needs of the young men of Earl Shilton.
Reconstituted in 1977 as a charity, it now serves as a
social centre for the whole village and the surrounding area.
The Institute is located just inside Station Rd in the centre of the village of Earl Shilton. The village is located in Leicestershire on the A47, 10 miles south west of Leicester and 5 miles north east of Hinckley. Find Us. A Street View.
Restoration of the Snooker Hall.
During 2011 it became apparent that there were serious problems with the integrity of the Snooker Hall floor.
Built in 1934 the wooden floor, although refurbished from time to time over the years, was now becoming a safety issue.
A massive fund raising campaign was successfully mounted and by the end of the year sufficient funds were raised to allow a restoration plan to be
implemented. View Appreciation to the Fundraisers.
