Facebook

Facebook is not usually regarded as either authoritative or permanent. Can someone please therefore find alternative citations for the two facebook cites. I'm marking them as {{cn}} but will leave the links in place temporarily. A local paper or reputable website (BBC local perhaps) would do. Martin of Sheffield (talk) 08:44, 21 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]

@Martin of Sheffield: I've gone through the article and removed the duplicated/non-notable info, and the Facebook event ref, that were added by the anon editor. I'm not sure whether the one to the Facebook group should be removed, though - the group doesn't seem to have a proper website, with the group page acting in its stead, so might be worth keeping as a ref. But I've left the citation needed tag for now, as it should have a second reference in that case. Thanks. Mike Peel (talk) 18:41, 23 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

I've added a second ref for the remaining info linked to the Facebook group. Thanks. Mike Peel (talk) 18:57, 23 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Good work, thanks. Martin of Sheffield (talk) 22:03, 23 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

No longer a pub

@Mike Peel: Does the lead reference to this being a "public house" now need to be removed, given this is how the article opens and is, since the redevelopment, erroneous and now historic? The prose still suggests this is current, until you read further on. Bungle ^{(talk • contribs)} 18:57, 9 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]

@Bungle: Good spot, updated! Thanks. Mike Peel (talk) 18:59, 9 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]
