[edit] History section
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).
[edit] History section (again)
Regarding the history section of this page, it's too big. Who cares about 'Ye olde sheply'? We could at least have more info about Shepley, such as how it is full of building sites which will never be built on *cough* Firth Mill *cough* and is quickly becoming part of Shelley. In fact, an entire section needs to be devoted to whether Shelley is absorbing Shepley or vice-versa. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 88.107.159.108 (talk) 16:04, 2 October 2007 (UTC)
[edit] History
If you feel so passionately about whether Shepley and Shelley are merging together, and why land is not being built upon, tell us about it rather than moaning and groaning about the efforts other people make in contributing to the story of what is a great Yorkshire village. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Policymaster (talk • contribs) 12:19, 16 November 2007 (UTC)
