Twyford snooker hall’s plans for expansion

Plans have been submitted that could see a single-storey extension built alongside one of Twyford’s most historic buildings.

The application for the extension to what is currently Twyford Snooker Hall on Wargrave Road is to enable an additional snooker table to be accommodated.

The property is within the Twyford Village Conservation Area.

According to the application, the building was constructed in 1853 as a Wesleyan Chapel and was used for that purpose for more than 50 years.

Following World War 1, in 1919 the then vicar donated the hall to the men of Twyford who had served during the conflict. That gift is commemorated by a marble mosaic tablet within the club.

The hall served as a centre for the returning soldiers who could pass the time reading, playing bagatelle, draughts and dominoes, and eventually snooker.

There were also boxing tournaments, and the club welcomed other groups for other uses over the years – including a ‘drop-in’ centre for Age Concern.

The snooker club, which currently has a waiting list for membership, is responsible for maintenance of the building.

The application noted: “The proposed development is for a small extension to the side of the building, to enable the internal space to accommodate a third snooker table, increasing the capacity for members.

“This will increase the long-term viability of the club, and support the cost of ongoing

building maintenance.”

The architect said: “We believe that the proposal is in keeping with the character and style of the area.

“The proposals seek to allow the expansion of the existing club to maintain viability and retain a building of local historical importance in a manner that enhances the existing building.”

The consultation for the application is open until April 14.
