I have fond memories of Earl Shilton around the 1950s. My first school was in Wood Street where I lived in a little old cottage, now knocked down.

At the time of this photograph, Hoskins, a family brewery in Beaumanor Road, Belgrave, in Leicester, owned this, their one public house. Tom Hoskins, a Worcestershire man, founded the concern at the turn of the century and produced the selection that won him the highest awards for a variety of beers.

Time stands still on a summer's afternoon, with houses going back four hundred years placed all around the square. The market is still held here, and buyers and sellers come in from miles around.
