I've been unable to find any trace of Ship Inn (http://www.pubsgalore.co.uk/pubs/34138/) in Kimberworth, on the edge of Rotherham. Admittedly I haven't been out there and searched on the ground yet, but on streetview (http://maps.google.co.uk/maps?q=S61+3QL&hl=en&ll=53.441522,-1.389256&spn=0.003374,0.013797&sll=53.442906,-1.383022&sspn=0.001869,0.003449&t=h&hnear=Rotherham+S61+3QL,+United+Kingdom&z=16&layer=c&cbll=53.441518,-1.389256&panoid=hQgC99m9Mt8e0kwqi8ow_w&cbp=11,252.08,,0,-4.9) there is no sign of anything resembling a pub anywhere on Hutton Street. No 1 is the address given, but No 1 Hutton Street is a bungalow, in a row of identical bungalows seemingly built around the late 1950s. A Google search produces nothing of note except the PuG entry. There's no mention on the Lost Pubs Project. I suggest that it's a phantom entry and should be deleted.
If anyone knows any different, please let me know as I'm going to Kimberworth and Greasborough tomorrow, weather permitting, for a photographic diversion on my way to Wentworth.
