What about it? its a modern looking building about 1970's at Totley.

It was named after Douglas Clayton Shepley, I know its a modern pub, I understand its near Woodthorpe Hall, the home of the Shepleys

Thanks Any way

Never heard of that place so I did some googling

It looks like the family still live there, as there is a Shepley who is the organiser of the festival

Mikey, I've just had a e-mail back from Richard Shepley, so many thanks again for your help.

Cheers Rob...

What a coincidence that I just came across this. I have spent this weekend at the Shepley house for their summer party. I'm going again next week for a wedding.

If Richard Shepley is anything to go by then Douglas must have been a crazy guy too!!! He's one top man.
My husband is a friend of his.
