Now used infrequently, as evidenced by the weeds in front of the building, in its heyday the Institute was the focus of much village activity. The decline in its usage followed the withdrawal of a regular "inconvenience payment" to village funds from British Steel as production at the nearby once-massive steelworks dwindled.
