Ron and Audrey Reveley ran the SouthYorkshire from 1968 until it closed I will try and get some photos and down load them for you. I met my husband in the hotel, when my mum and dad ran the hotel next door was a scrap yard run by Alf Bates.
The South Yorkshire Hotel was run by Ronald and Audrey Reveley , they were the last land lord and land lady to run it. We lived there until it closed in 1970.
