Hi, I am living in Ireland now. I spent many a good night in the Farmer's Boy pub, I was called 'Irish' by name, some day I hope to holiday in your lovely village.

Shepley, Station Road c1950
Ref: S304006
The large 3-storey building to the right of centre, was the village grocery store at 91 Lane Head Road. My father purchased it in 1961 from Frank Armitage. He sold it in 1984 when he retired. At the rear were stables, groceries used to be delivered by horse drawn cart, but my father used a Ford Thames van, until in 1966 when he got a Ford Cortina estate car from H. W. Gill. To the right of our shop was Copleys bakery.

The building to the right of centre of this photo was Dyson's Fish & Chip Shop in the 1960s and 1970s. The caption says Main Road, but this road the A629 had several names. one was Penistone Road, but at this point it was known as Abbey Road South, before becoming Lane Head Road.

This photo could have been taken from my bedroom window. I lived in Shepley from 1961 to 1983. On the left is The Black Bull pub, on the right is the Conservative club, which became the youth club.

Good morning from Waterloo, Canada. I was absolutely thrilled with your site and stumbled on it quite by chance. I was born in 1943 at my grandparents house at Yew Tree Terrace just off Station Rd. I grew up in Shepley, attended school there as well as being in St. Paul's Church choir. I sat on the wall at the bridge opposite the Black Bull as a teenager visiting with friends and when we weren't at the Church Youth Club we walked miles up the Marsh across to the Sovereign and back down past Cliff House to Station Rd and home which was then on Jos Way. Walking took us miles through Thunder Bridge to Stocks Moor and back around to Stones Wood the memories are endless. I married and had two sons and lived in the Old Fold off Station Road, a historical protected property. The village isn't the same now with all the new homes and the changes that have taken place over the years but Shepley Village will always be home to me.
Sincerely, Marilyn Haywood (nee Lockwood).
