Tinsley Transport Cafe Fire

[craig3636 10]

At 18:50 fire broke out at Tinsley transport cafe and looks like it's caused extensive damage, I don't know if it was still in business but it looks like another Sheffield landmark gone. Here's some cctv footage.

I assume it is 'Plumpers' cafe.

Happy hours spent in both the transport cafe & 'the Plumpers' before they turned it into a golf shop

I went in the cafe every morning in early 70s.

Ron who owned it since the 70s was an old workmate of mine from Vere and Sons bakery in Rotherham,he built it up from nothing!.Brendon Ingle used to take his up and coming fighters in there for a veggie dinner quite a lot,it was very popular with the local workers!.It was the year 2000 I last saw Ron I popped in for a dinner expecting him to treat me,I was surprised  when I had to pay,not really he was always a tight arse he hadn,t changed a bit!.Sorry to hear of the fire I hope nobody was hurt and his insurance is up to scratch!.

Can we assume from this that there is nothing combustible left at the ski village?
