The Reading Room
From Spirit of the Yealm
The Reading Room lies on the south side of Riverside Road West about 50 metres beyond the slipway at “The Brook”
Hidden away on full view, the Reading Room has been there since the late 1800’s . Indeed, the Tythe map f 1840 shows a small, unoccupied cottage where the Reading Room now stands and it is referred to as “The Club” in some minutes of 1897 as having existed for many years. The Club was run mainly as library with a range of books and newspapers and some games such as Bezique, Drafts and Bagatelle. Members paid a shilling a quarter, but the main running costs were met by subscriptions from Honorary Members. Children were able to borrow books on payment of a penny and visitors could become temporary members for 6 pence per week and 1 penny per book.
The Reading Room continues to this day as a Snooker Club open to all residents of the district.
Tilly Institute
From Spirit of the Yealm
The Tilly Institute lies at the start of Passage Road in Noss Mayo immediately opposite the Newton & Noss Village Hall.
Until 1882 this was the Noss Mayo School building , dating from 1843 and extended in 1878 . When the school moved to what is now the Village Hall, the old building became a library and snooker hall with the caretakers cottage adjoining .
In 1918 it was named the “Tilly Institute” in honour of Sir William Cresswell Gray’s Land Agent who had been killed in Ypres. The building has been a valuable asset ever since and is home to The Tilly Snooker Club which continues to this day. Residents can join for a small annual fee
