SNOOKER CLUB

This history begins some twenty years before the present building was built, when in 1870 a group of local worthies established a Literary Institute in a private house at an at present unidentified location in the High Street. It had a reading room and small library of about 100 volumes and was open from 10 a... In about 1890 the owner of the premises reclaimed them as a private residence and rather than lose so valuable a resource the Institute's Secretary, Horace Ridley, a pharmacist and stationer in the Market Square, knowing that the Rothschild family had provided similar facilities elsewhere, was instrumental in persuading the then Lord Rothschild to do so for Princes Risborough... Snooker in Princes Risborough. We are a not for profit organisation to allow people to play snooker cheaply in Princes Risborough. There is also a hall in the building that can be hired for functions etc.
