Talk:Shepley

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Regarding the history section of this page. Does anybody know anything about 'Shepley Abbey'? It is marked on the 1850 map near the current site of Shepley spring water and is obviously the origin of the 'Abbey Road' road name. What happened to it and was it a 'real' abbey?

[edit] Shepley Abbey

I'm told that some kind of religious foundation did exist on the site of 'Abbey Road' though I'm sure that it wasn't as big as an Abbey. It might be worth having a look through the estate papers of Sir Joseph Radcliffe which I think are held at the public library in Huddersfield. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 81.171.226.20 (talk) 17:15, 30 January 2007 (UTC).
