Julian and Jayne will put the towels on the pumps for the last time at the Royal Oak -April 2001.
Julian and Jayne Todd retire as tenants of the Royal Oak this month after 14 years in the village as landlord and landlady. Through their dedication and culinary expertise they built the Royal Oak into one of the best known eating establishments in the area, offering good value high quality food at local village prices. The Royal Oak deservedly achieved Brewery awards and a place in the Good Pub Food Guide through their efforts. They were always ready to help the village community and offer their facilities to host charity events. I am sure all customers, both past and present, wish them the very best of luck in the future.
It is amazing isn't it that wherever people finally reside they always remember their family roots with pride. Ex-Tibshelf residents are no exception and even though scattered far and (world) wide several have taken the trouble to make contact either through the guestbook or directly by email to relate their family ties with the village. One contact, even though not from Tibshelf, was on a mission to find information about a Tibshelf resident who had unselfishly given his life up to save the lives of his father's brothers.

Latest information :- Percy's older brother Horace William (buried in Tibshelf) paid for the funeral and donated the £50 award from the Carnegie Hero Fund Trust to the local church to buy a new altar. Horace had some sort of small grocery shop possibly in Tibshelf as well as being a coal miner. At the time of his death, Percy had a house at 11 Brooke St, Tibshelf. In 1891 Percy's father John William Adams a coal miner aged 24 was living at 73 St Thomas Row, Tibshelf with his wife Margaret aged 27 and children Kate aged 2 and Thomas Wilfred aged 1. Horace was born c1892 and Percy was born c1906 so there may have been more children born between them? Hopefully, Percy's living relatives will be found as the author (Dave Butters) wishes to give them 2 photos of Percy and copies of newspaper reports and the Carnegie report relating to Percy's heroism.
