View Full Version : Shepley Spitfire,Totley camskelton 03-07-2009, 18:37 Hi The Shepley Spitfire is no longer open, another one bits the dust as they say, they have shut up and have their blinds down and have been closed for a few days, looks like they've gone. Daffy_D 03-07-2009, 18:45 Now that does make me Seethe..... One of Sheffields finest hidden away pubs without a doubt.. many happy memories of the Shepley.. Hope it's not permanent like so many others. LukeD 03-07-2009, 18:49 I'd always wanted to go there, I've read about poor Douglas and his siblings. julado 03-07-2009, 18:50 I'd always wanted to go there, I've read about poor Douglas and his siblings. What about them??? Do tell. scottwoodbur 03-07-2009, 19:07 its not shut it just got a few problems with the cellar LukeD 03-07-2009, 19:30 Douglas Shepley was a Battle of Britain Spitfire pilot from Holmesfield. He was shot down and killed on 12 August 1940. He had only been married for 6 weeks and his brother and sister had already been killed whilst serving in the war. His mother and widow started a fund to buy a new Spitfire with £100 of their own money. http://www.cwgc.org/search/casualty_details.aspx?casualty=1807038 Daffy_D 03-07-2009, 19:52 Douglas Shepley was a Battle of Britain Spitfire pilot from Holmesfield.

LukeD 03-07-2009, 22:06 Yeah, £100 was a lot of money back then. Hopefully no one told them that a new Spitfire would cost about £12,000! eileen_joyce 03-07-2009, 22:41 there nowt really in sheffield area for teenaher any more bit poor now a days Bertielil 04-07-2009, 12:56 Sadly I've just had it confirmed that they have indeed closed. The tenants left on Friday. I really thought that they would make a go of it. Ghostrider 04-07-2009, 13:15 Sadly I've just had it confirmed that they have indeed closed. The tenants left on Friday. I really thought that they would make a go of it. How do you know this ? I know the tenant and have heard nothing from him..... Hopefully its not true as I have 2 bookings for later this month. smr42 04-07-2009, 15:52 Despite the rumours on here and in Totley, I can confirm that the pub is closed temp, but the tenants have NOT left the site. If anyone requires any further information please PM me as I am not prepared to put details on an open forum. kittenta 04-07-2009, 21:39 Moderator Note: This thread has now been closed due to a lack of confirmed information and to prevent rumours. |
