Brucie Posted February 26, 2006 Share Posted February 26, 2006 The Marples was actually called the London Mart at the time of the Sheffield Blitz. In the late 1880's it was known as Market Street Wine Vaults and owned by John Marples & Edward Marples. Despite a further change of name to the London Mart regulars always referred to it as Marple's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pressy Posted February 27, 2006 Share Posted February 27, 2006 It was renamed "The Marples" after it was rebuilt after being destroyed in the war. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
