Shipstone and Sons' Shares

Claim by two sisters allowed

Judge Decides a knotty point

A family dispute in regard to the holding of shares in James Shipstone and Sons, Ltd., brewers, New Basford, Nottingham, occupied the attention of Mr. Justice Luxmore in the Chancery Division yesterday.

The Plaintiff, Mrs. Edith Mary Morley of Northwood, Arlington Drive, Mapperley Park, Nottingham, claimed a declaration that she was absolutely entitled to 10,666 £1 ordinary shares in the company.

Judgement was given in her favour.

According to her case the shares were given to her by her father, the late Mr. James Shipstone, in April, 1920, and vested in her brothers, Mr. J.H. and Mr. R.A. Shipstone, as trustees. In November of the same year, and without her knowledge, her father had the names of the trustees entered in the company's books as proprietors of the shares, and plaintiff now asked for a declaration that the transaction was void.

The Defence

Messrs. J.H. and R.A. Shipstone, in their defence pleaded that they believed the shares were transferred by Mr. Shipstone to the plaintiff merely as his nominee for voting purposes and to be sold on his behalf. Mr. Shipstone made similar transfers to all his children and his brother, Sir Thomas, did the same to his children.

There were also an exactly similar action in regard to a similar number of shares by another daughter of Mr. Shipstone, Mrs. Alice Wing, of Tavistock Avenue, Nottingham.

Mr. Manning, K.C. for the plaintiffs, said that in 1920 Mr. James Shipstone and his brother, Sir Thomas, held the majority of the shares of the company. I March of that year, when the annual meeting was to be held, a notice was received that a Mr. Vinter desired election as a director.

Voting Action.

This did not meet with the approval of the brothers and in order to secure a majority of votes and defeat Mr. Vinter they transferred blocks of shares to their children instructing them how to vote.

Without the knowledge and consent of the plaintiffs, Mr. Shipstone at a later date transferred their shares to Messrs. J.H. and R.A. Shipstone to pay the income to their sisters; but those ladies now claimed that the transaction was void.

The relations between the plaintiffs and their brothers explained Councel, were friendly; but that trustees needed the guidance of Court.

"Given Absolutely"

Mr. Justice Luxmore, giving judgement, said he was satisfied plaintiffs were told by their father that the shares were given to them absolutely. There was no reservations and therefore the subsequent settlement was ineffective and the plaintiffs were the absolute owners of the shares.

2021 note (PC) - I didn't now that Mr. Vinter (presumably R.A.) was trying to become a Director in early 20's (against the wishes of the brothers - their "nephew" by Elizabeth (who married Arthur Vinter).

Resch Note Research Note:
This is a doubly "annoying" Leivers - Shipstone connection.

Why doubly annoying?

This Leivers are not in fact "my" Leivers (Joshua's grandmother was a Clifton - he is descended from my Clifton line)

The Shipstone are not in fact "my" Shipstones (though Ancestry "Shipstone Family" does claim that, it is nonsense. As I have fully research the Shipstone name, I know Elizabeth Anne's line very well and it does not start in Darley Dale). This connection to that line may give me the excuse for putting them in my tree (as I have done the work), but they would only be "Linked".

So yes - it's both annoying and intriguing. A Shipstone-Leivers liaison which has no confirmed connection to my ancestral families of either name.

Circuit Intelligence:

ENNISCORTHY (Ireland)

The Annual tea meeting in connection with the Methodist sabbath-school, Enniscorthy has been held recently in the Methodist chapel.
...
The tea tables were presided over by Mrs Shipstone
...
The names of the children who recited were as follows:
Fanny and Madge Shipstone, Master Jack Shipstone

The juvenile collectors worked very energetically-
Fanny Shipstone (grand-daughter of Rev. R. Beauchamp) £4 2s. 9d.

It could be that "the juvenile collectors", "Fanny, Jack and Madge" were all sibblings ... note absence of mythical Marion May Shipstone.
Presumably this was the children when visiting their grandparents with their mother.

102nd Field Ambulance, Royal Army Medical Corps served with 334th Division. The Division was formed as part of Kitchener's Fifth New Army and was mainly comprised of locally raised Pals Battalions. After initial training near home, they concentrated at Ripon in Yorkshire in mid 1915, In late August they moved to Salisbury Plain to begin final training. They proceeded to France in January 1916 and concentrated at La Crosse, east of St Omer. They were in action during the Battles of the Somme, including the capture of Scots and Sausage Redoubts, The Battles of Bazentin Ridge and Pozieres Ridge. 103rd Brigade and the Divisional Pioneers also saw action in The Battle of Flers-Courcelette. In 1917 they fought in the The First and Second Battles of the Scarpe and the The Battle of Arleux during the Arras Offensive. In August they were involved in the fighting at Hargicourt and in October they took part in The Third Battles of Ypres at the Broenbeek. In 1918 they were in action in The Battle of St Quentin and then moved to Flanders seeing action in The Battle of Estaires, The Battle of Bailleul and The First Battle for Kemmel Ridge during the Battles of the Lys, suffering heavy losses. The 34th Division was then withdrawn from fighting and on the 21st of April they moved to the area west of Poperinge for reorganisation and was engaged in digging a new defensive line between Abeele and Watou. On the 13th of May the infantry units moved to the area around Lumbres and reduced to a cadre which was then employed in the training of newly arrived American troops. By the 1st of July 1918 34th Division had been reconstituted and returned to action, at The Battles of the Soissonais, the Ourcq and the capture of Baigneux Ridge. They took part in the Final Advance in Flanders and at the Armistice was at rest in the area east of Courtrai. 34th Division was selected to join the Army of Occupation and began to move towards Germany on the 14th of November. On the 22nd of December a large number men with industrial and mining skills were demobilised. By the end of January 1919 the Division was occupying the Cologne bridgehead.

Therefore Gordon Henry Shipstone was likely to be killed during day 1 of the battle of St. Quentin.3,4

Suffocated?

Baker found Dead with Head in Dough

Mansfield Sensation

Two others overcome by fumes

A sensational discovery was made at a Mansfield bakery early this morning, an employee named William Smith, aged 46, a married man, of 18 Hibbert-street, Mansfield, being found dead, apparently from suffocation, with his head buried in a trough of dough.

Within less than an hour, two other bakers, George Bradder, single of 116 Brownlow-road, Mansfield, and Harold Shipstone, married, of Heanor, and lodging at Peck's Hill, Mansfield, were overcome by fumes but survived after medical treatment.

It appears that the bakery, which is situated in Broomhill-lane, formerly belonged to Mr. S. Binch, but on his death a short while ago the business passed into the hands of his son who lives on the premises.

Mrs. Binch told the "Post" that the ovens were fired yesterday for the first time for a fortnight, and that Smith started to work shortly before midnight.

At about 3.30 a.m. when Bradder went on duty to assist him, he found a strange smell of sulphur in the bakehouse, and Smith lying dead with his head in a trough of dough.

At the time he appears to have had no reason to connect Smith's condition with the fumes that filled the bakehouse, for, along with Shipstone, he resumed the work that Smith has started.

Within less than an hour, however, both men were overpowered by the fumes, and Shipstone collapsed unconscious on the floor.

(picture of Mr. W. Smith)

Fortunately Bradder was able to stagger to the open air, and secure the assistance of other men who carried Shipstone into Mr. Binch's house for treatment.

Both men were afterwards examined by Dr. T. Tate.

Sulphur-like Smell

He came to the conclusion that they were suffering from some sort of asphyxia.

During the morning, Bradder has revided sufficiently to be removed in one of the bakery vans to his house which was only a short distance away.

The other man, however, remained in Mr. Binch's house for some time.
As to the origin of the fumes, various theories are advanced.

One is that they arose from the dough, and another that there was a leakage from the ovens, which are situated in the same building as the bakehouse.

An employee of Mr. Binch, who had entered the bakery some time after the discovery, told the "Post" that the fumes had a distinct sulphur-like smell such as produced by a coke fire.

During the morning Mr. B. Allman, the chief sanitory inspector to the Mansfield Corporation paid a visit to the bakery.

It is understood that a post-mortem examination of the deceased is to be made, and an analysis of the dough in the trough to be carried-out.

Deceased was formerly in Nottingham, but had lived in Mansfield for about 26 years. He was an experienced baker, and before going into Mtr. Binch's employ three years ago, had worked at other bakeries in the town. He had a family of six.13

The death of Miss Helen Shipstone

The death is announced to-day of Miss Helen Shipstone, of Sutherland Lodge, Lucknow-drive, Nottingham, who will be remembered for her recent magnificent gift of valuable paintings to the Nottingham Castle Art Gallery.
Some of the pictures, 15 in number, were costly works of art, the collection being one of the most outstanding that has been handed over to the city for some years.
It was also anticipated that the donor would add to the number in the course of time. As recently as Thursday last Miss Shipstone was at the Castle, and the news of her sudden death, from pneumonia, came as a shock to the officials to-day. Miss Shipstone was the daughter of the late Mr. and Mrs.
James Shipstone, formerly of Harby Lodge, Pelham-Road.30

Death of Miss Helen Shipstone

Nottingham Loses a Benefactress

Valuable Art Gifts.

Although she had not been in very good health recently, the death of Miss Helen Shipstone, which occurred at her residence, Sutherland Lodge, Lucknow-Drive, yesterday, from pneumonia, was unexpected, and came as a great shock to her friends.
Miss Shipstone was a daughter of the late Mr. and Mrs. Shipstone, and a sister of Sir Thomas Shipstone.
While taking little part in public life, her acts of private philanthropy were numberless, and many people had reason to be grateful for her charitable deeds.
Miss Shipstone had always appreciated good pictures, but it was not until comparatively late in life that she developed this taste to the point of becoming an art expert of no mean ability.

Notable Paintings.

She acquired a number of notable paintings, and it was as recently as last August that she made a gift of great value to the Nottingham Castle Museum, consisting of 12 beautiful paintings, five of which are of outstanding importance.
The painters represented are Sir Godfrey Kneller, Pietro da Cortona, Adrian van der Werff, Barend van der Meer, Sir H. Hughes Stanton, F. G. Cooper, John Linell, E. M. Wimperis, F. W. Watts, J. W. Booth and John Tennant.

Earlier in the year, Miss Shipstone had given four other paintings to the museum, and it has since transpired that the portrait of Miss Wish Wynne, which was shown in the Nicholson exhibition at the Castle last year, and which was announced to have been given to the museum anonymously was also the gift of Miss Shipstone.

The interment takes place in the Church Cemetery on Wednesday.

Resch Note26 January 1755 Research Note:
Some conjecture (see Ancestry family trees) that this is the son of Thomas Shipston & Anne Barton bn 1755 in Basford and married to Sarah Shirley 1778 in Bulwell, and is the same James who marries Sarah Dunn in 1788 and has a family in Darley Dale.

So in summary: Born Basford, 1755, marries Sarah Sharley in 1778. They have an Ann (1779) & George (1783) in Bulwell, then he hops to Darley Dale before 1786, marries Sarah Dunn in 1788, has 6 more children in Darley Dale (most of whom die off, as does his new wife Sarah) and he returns to die in 1826 in Bulwell (aged 72 - so fits with Basford baptism).

Not impossible, and very convenient, but not evidenced.

Would be neat if true.

Constructed from information which is available (on internet) rather than all possible information.

If this was the case, finding the burial of his first wife before 1788 would be useful... but I suspect this James (= Sarah Sharley) never strayed from Basford. Finding her burial in Basford/Bulwell after 1788 would be a clincher. I would bet they are buried together in Basford (never having left).

Note that the James marrying in Darley Dale in 1788 was NOT noted to be a widow - but had to be if the was born and married in Basford - so is unlikely to be the Basford James.

Finding the burial of this James Shipstone who married in Darley Dale would be the definitive clincher!
 
Resch Note27 May 1760 Research Note:
A James Shipston = Elizabeth Drabble in Old Brampton, both of this parish. Too speculative to be James' father, but...

James is removed from Barlow (Staveley?) to Brampton

How to Celebrate A Golden Wedding

The President of the Conference visited the town on Monday for a very interesting occasion. Mr. and Mrs. J. Shipstone, who for forty-two years have been the leading members and supporters of the pretty little suburban church of New Basford, in the Halifax-place Circuit, celebrated their golden wedding, and determined to commemorate the event by clearing the debt from the chapel. In the afternoon, the President gave an interesting address. He said he had never been at a golden wedding before; he had often heard of such celebrations, and heard of them with profound interest. As Chapel Secretary, people generally sent for him when they were in trouble, when they were in a hole and wanted to be helped out of it. He had to weep with those who wept. But during the last few months, as President, he had seen Methodism under another aspect, and had to rejoice with those who rejoiced. His views on Methodism had risen marvelously during his presidency. He commended the thought of showing gratitude for a long life of mercies by freeing God's house from debt. A tea was provided gratuitously in the schoolroom, to which a large number sat down. After teas, on behalf of the trustees, leaders and members of the church, the President presented Mr. and Mrs. Shipstone with a beautifully illuminated address in a handsome frame, in which reference was made to his son, Rev. John Shipstone, who died in Ceylon, and to his late father-in-law, Rev. James Calvert Fowler, and also to the generosity and devotion to the cause of himself and wife for so many years. Congratulatory addresses were delivered by Revs. J.V.B. Shrewsbury, R. Middleton, F.J. Murrell and H.H. Whiting. The dept in the chapel stood at £375. The Chapel Committee promised £75. A bazaar at Christmas realised £85. A collection was made at the services, and promises made, reducing the amount required to £120; this amount Mr. Shipstone promised, and the Doxology was heartily sung. This is the second chapel in the Halifax-circuit which within a year has been freed from debt. Only last October, £1,000 was raised to free the circuit chapel.

(Mentioned) Newspaper1 June 1953 He was mentioned in a newspaper article on 1 June 1953. Over a Century of Good Brewing

When James Shipstone first opened his brewery to service the people of Nottingham, he was not embarking on a novel service.

Nottingham had for centuries enjoyed a reputation for brewing; its ancient rock-hewn caves had proved ideal for fermentation and storage and Nottingham ale was famous and popular.

The peculiar mineral properties of the local waters had created and maintained a certain quality in brewing which was the envy of other towns.

Into such an establishment craft came the young James Shipstone. He was a great man with great ideas, whose courage matched the adventurous streak in his nature.

He planned along ambitious lines and was a pioneer in the application of science in the development of industry.

"Pleasantly Reached"

In a Nottingham handbook of 1852, it is recorded thus: "Basford, two miles and a half North of Nottingham, may be pleasantly reached either on foot or by railway". Here, James Shipstone founded his brewery.

In 1880, his eldest son, another James, was taken into partnership and when another son, Thomas, came in four years later, the firm James Shipstone and sons was brought into being.

On the death of the founder in 1897, the second James became chairman and continued in that capacity until his death in 1940, when James Henry and Ronald Arthur Shipstone became joint managing directors. Ronald died four years later, and James Henry carried on until his retirement brought into office his son, the fourth James Shipstone.

The House of Shipstone is now in its second century of development, and the policy established by four generations which has proved eminently successful will be maintained.

The high standard of their products is as well know as their familiar star trade mark, and their magnificent horses.79

Rev George T. Start

Death of former Eastonian. Lacemaker and Methodist Circuit Preacher

He was actively identified with the Long Eaton Bourne Methodist Church.

Gifted Local preacher

At Bourne, Mrs. Andrew Crowe exercised a formative and beneficial influence in his young life, and it was there, under the tutelage of the late Mr. James Shipstone that he first exercised his considerable pulpit gifts as a local preacher , in which capacity he was much in demand in the (then) Bourne and other circuits.

...

He entered the Wesleyan ministry after a course at Didsbury College, Manchester, he entered into his life's calling. He successfully sustained his ministry in a number of English Methodist Circuits to which he was posted from time to time.

...

Funeral held in his hime town of Totnes, prior to cremation at Plymouth.

(as he lived in Long Eaton, I assume this is James Shipstone of Long Eaton, but could be the brewer's direct family - so probably 1 of these 2.)80

Providential Escape From Drowning

On Friday last, a son of Mr. James Shipston's of Bulwell, 3 years, by some mischance fell into the Leen, which runs at the bottom of his Father's garden. Mrs. Shipston happened to look out of the chamber window and saw a child floating down the river, but did not then discern who it was; she however, ran downstairs and called out for Mr. Allen who works near. He instantly jumped in and saved the boy from a watery grave. Mr. Allen had to wade up to the chin.

New Wesleyan Chapel at Sherwood

This morning's three- day bazaar, in aid of the new Wesleyan Chapel at Sherwood, Nottingham was opened in the Mechanics Hall, Nottingham by the Sherrif (Mr. J. Jelley). In building this chapel, the trustees have anticipated the requirements of the rapidly-increasing neighbourhood. It was, they felt, a serious step to take, but looking at Sherwood as a rising district, and one likely to become an important one, the trustees considered that the chapel should be in harmony with the surroundings ..

Scene in a Nottingham Wesleyan Chapel
A Public Protest

Last night we received the following letter relating to a extraordinary occurrence at the Wesleyan Chapel, Sherwood, at the close of the evening service on Sunday:-

Cavendish Hill, Sherwood, Nottingham, September 9th 1889

Sir - I was present at the Sherwood Methodist Wesleyan Chapel this evening when the service was conducted and the sermon preached by a Mr. R.J. Whiteley, F.I.C., of 13 Bowers-Avenue, Woodborough-road. Mr. Whiteley's subject was the sowing of good and bad seed, and during the sermon he thought it necessary to refer to the business carried-on by brewers, wine merchant's etc., and made what I considered a grossly unfair and disgraceful attack upon persons engaged in those trades, and I was glad that Mr. James Shipstone jun. who was present got up after the service and publicly complained of the insulting remarks which the preacher had made. If the matter had ended there, I should not have troubled you with this letter, but Mr. Whitely thought it necessary to refer to the erection of certain almshouses at Sherwood Mr. John Robinson, and said it was Mr. Robinson;s duty to erect such almshouses and he had no doubt only done so to atone for the mischief caused by his business. Mr. and Mrs. Robinson have been great friends, not only to the Wesleyan church and congregation at Sherwood, but especially to the poor of Sherwood, and as a member of the Wesleyan congregation, and a resident of Sherwood, I regret that such a scandalous attach should have been made upon Mr. Robinson from the Wesleyan pulpit, and I know this regret is shared by the greater part of the church nd congregation.
Yours Truly, Wm. Clifton.A representative of this journal waited upon Mr. James Shipstone jun. at the brewery, New Basford today. In the course of an interview, Mr. Shipstone said that he had been a member of the congregation worshipping at the Wesleyan Chapel, Sherwood for a number of years and with his wife had taken an active part in the work of the church, which in included in the Broad-street Circuit. Mr. R.L. Whiteley F.I.C., is one of the staff of teachers at the University College and has upon several occasions occupied the pulpit at Sherwood by direction of Rev. J.B. Harrowell, superintendent minister. In the course of his sermon last evening Mr. Whiteley touched upon the temperance question, and said he could not understand how any sensible man could be a brewer, or how a man engage in any such business could rest comfortably at night. He would not like to stand in any brewers'ss.dak. shoes. He then referred to Mr. John Robinson, the Sheriff of Nottingham, an a man whose name was painted upon many public houses in Nottingham, and who, to atone somewhat for the mischief which was caused by his trade, had recently erected some almshouses in the vicinity of that place of worship. No man made so many paupers as a brewer did, and he prayed to the Lord to open the eyes of such men.
After the Benediction has been pronounced, and when the service was practically over, but before Mr. Whitely had left the pulpit, Mr. James Shipstone, Jun. , rising in his pew, and addressing the preacher, said that as a member of the congregation he begged to protest most strongly against thew insulting remarks which Mr. Whiteley had used with regard to brewers and their business. Perhaps he was the only private brewer amongst the congregation, but there were many members of the congregation who were indirectly interested in brewing business, and he protested upon their behalf too. It was the abuse, and not the use in moderation of alcohol that caused the mischief, and so far as he was personally concerned he pinned his faith upon the first miracle of Christ, when he turned water into wine at the marriage feast at Cana in Galilee. Nothing he had ever read in the Bible had moved him from the position he had taken up, and which he could support upon other Biblical authority. When he found he could no longer rest his faith upon the words of Christ, and could believe that the trade in which he was engaged had been denounced by Christ, then we would "chuck" it, but not until.

Mr. Shipstone's observations were followed by a running comment of "hear, hear" from th large congregation, which had remained behind to listen to this singular controversy in chapel.

Mr. Whitely, in reply, said that he had made the matter a subject of prayer, and he prayed the Almighty that the fear of man might not deter him from doing what he felt was his duty. He was sorry if he had wounded Mr. Shipstone's feelings and given him pain, and if Mr. Shipstone cared to discuss the matter elsewhere he was quite prepared to go into it with him. This terminated the incident and the congregation separated.

Mr. Shipstone said that he was indignant that such an attack was made upon those belonging to the brewing trade, and pointed out to our representative that Mr. John Robinson had liberally assisted the congregation at Sherwood, whilst some time ago a bazaar was held at his (Mr. Shipstone's) house and grounds in support of one of the congregation institutions was opened by Mrs. Robinson. Mr. Shipstone formally brought the matter under the notice of the superintendent minister.24

"An extraordinary scene was witnessed

on Sunday (8 Sep 1889) at the Wesleyan Chapel, Sherwood, Nottingham. The preacher made an attack upon persons engaged in the liquor traffic, and, referring to the erection in the immediate vicinity of an almshouse chapel by Mr John Robinson, sheriff of Nottingham and a large local brewer, said that Mr Robinson ought to atone for the mischief caused by his business. Thereupon Mr. James Shipstone, another brewer, a member of the congregation, rose and publicly protested against the remarks of the preacher, amid considerable excitement."

Nottingham and Notts. Licenced Victuallers' Association

The fifty-second anniversary of the Nottingham and Notts Licensed Victuallers' Association was celebrated last night by a dinner in the large hall of the Mechanic's Institution, Nottingham, where there was a representative gathering.
Mr. James Shipstone, jun. (of Messrs. J. Shipstone and Sons, New Basford) presided, the vice-chair being occupied by Mr. Charles Morris (Messrs. Morris and Place). The company numbered about 160, including several delegates from the kindred associations in distant towns.
The Chairman was supported by Councillor C. Lovett, Messrs. W.A. Brown, E.W. Field (Nottingham Brewery Company), T. Sutherns (Ind Coupe and Company), J Severn and H.A. Dixon (Warwick and Richardson's), J. Farr (the Home Brewery Company), J. Butler, J.S. Headerly, G. Shipley, W.G. Cotsford (Dubois Freres and Cagnion), H. Cotton and A. Williams (solicitor to the association).

Mr. S. Watson (secretary of the association) announced the receipt of letters regretting inability to be present from the Mayor of Nottingham (Councillor S.H. Sands), who was detained by an engagement in London, the Sheriff of Nottingham (Councillor Brownsworth), Viscount Newark M.P., Mr. H. Smith Wright M.P., Mr. Arnold Morley M.P., Mr. H. Broadhurst M.P., Ald. Sir John Turney etc . ...

...

The Chairman, in proposing the toast of the evening "Success to the Nottingham and Nottinghamshire Licensed Victuallers Association", said that after the excitement and agitation of the last few months it was quite refreshing to meet on an occasion like that.After all the accusations and threatenings and slanders which had been levelled at their heads, it was quite refreshing to see them standing on their feet, and it seemed to him there had been a good deal of bark and yet, after all, very little bite. (Laughter and applause). But it would not do to overlook the fact that year by year the teetotallers were setting on foot fresh schemes and plots to vex and harass them in the carrying on of their trade. It would not be possible to point to any period of the trade's history when the interests and businesses of the licensed victualler and also that of the brewer had been so unscrupulously attacked, but he had faith to believe their interests had taken a deeper root, and their businesses a deeper foundation than their enemies imagined, and that they were, and would be, able to parry and to resist the thrusts and blows of a spiteful and malicious tyranny. (Applause).

Licenced victuallers were told that their licence was only an annual one, and that they possessed no vested interest. History and established custom did not confirm this statement. No licence was ever issued on such an understanding, for no sane person could possibly be found to accept a licence on such extraordinary conditions. If such were the case, he thought the law would adopt, and those who administered the law, would be to make such a condition clearly and explicitly understood, whereas no such thing ever took place. (Applause.) It was the law of custom that if a person conducted his house satisfactorily his licence was always renewed. Such a proceeding the law has always sanctioned, and under this sanction the immense capital lying in the trace had been embarked. If a legitimate business, carried on in a legitimate manner, if the means they rightly employed to get their livelihood and support their families was not a vested interest, then he asked, what was? Not all the mysterious sophistry of the most practised juggler in his art could transmogrify it into anything else.

...

The remaining toasts included "The Town and Trade of Nottingham", "The Licensed Victuallers Defence League of England and Wales", "The Honorable Members of the Association", "The Chairman" and "The Vice Chairman".26

Letters to the Editor

- The Brewer's Argument

Sir, - it does not follow that the Liquor Traffic (Local Control) Bill is an "unjustifiable interference(?) with the liberty and comfort of the working man" because Mr. James Shipstone, jun., says it is. I have no doubt that he is quite competent to defend his trade, but I have some doubt as to his authority to speak and act for working men.

It seems to me there was never a more working man's measure introduced to the House of Commons. What is the position of the working men in the House on this question? Surely they have a much better right to speak on behalf of working men than Mr. Shipstone. I believe in fact that to a man they are in favour of the Bill.

Mr. Shipstone is alarmed because comparatively few persons will be able to vote on the question of the Bill become law in its present shape. Very well then, let some friend of the trade when the Bill gets into Committee moving an amendment giving all adults - males and females - the power to vote. I feel sure there will be no opposition from the temperance men in the House - no, not even if they include children.

Does Mr. Shipstone, jun., and do others in the trade know, for what purpose their trade was first instituted? It will perhaps be interesting to him (as I am sure it will be to those working men whose interests are giving him so much concern just now) to know. The present legalised trade in alcoholic drinks had its origin in an institution in one of the most base and dishonorable tricks that ever stained the annals of a great nation. I quote from the preface to a work just issued from the Press by Blackie and Son the following facts. "The Domestic MSS. of Elizabeth's Reign vol 1., A.D. 1558, which can be seen in the National Record office, reveals the terrible story. A nobleman (how frightful the perversion), writing to Cecil, Secretary of State, complains of th independence of the common people, peasants, farmers and artisans thus - "The wealth of the meaner sort is the very summit of rebellion, the occasion of their insolence, of the contempt of the nobility. It must be cured by providing, as it were, of some sewers or channels to draw or suck their money by subtle and indirect means, to be handled insensibly. The nobility and squirearchy got the power to licence their servants to sell ale and wine throughout the country; the licences were lavishly dispensed, yielding an income to the licensers, and so the proprietors became corrupted in their morals and paralysed in their industry. Freude tells the frightful story, and Commissioner Tyldsley reports to Cecil (Vol 1. page 462) "that the alehouses - the very stock and stay of false thieves and vagabonds - were supported by the gentlemen for the worst of motives. I have spoken to sharpen you against the Devil, and all his wicked instruments." (September 3, 1561).

Such is the origin of the liquor traffic, and on the strength of such facts, I fearlessly assert that it was conceived in ignoble and infamous selfishness, and bound upon the necks of the toiling masses - in whose name Mr. James Shipstone, jun., assumes to speak - with a purpose so bad, irredeemably wicked and diabolical, as to baffle the dictionary in supplying words to characterise it. The whole scheme is itself the best demonstration that the noble scoundrels who devised it were indeed, the wicked instruments of the Devil, as Commissioner Tyldsley says in writing to Cecil.

In spite of those facts, Mr. James Shipstone, jun., and others of the trade - because of their "Goddess" is in danger - say that the Liquor Traffic (Local Control) Bill is "dishonest," "confiscatory", "robbery" &c., and prate that it will rob the poor man of his beer. Why, if the measure become the law of the land, and it is put in force, whose votes, I should like to know if not the working man's, will be the means of so putting the law into force. What has Mr. James Shipstone, jun.'s traffic done for labour? For every £5 spent on woollen cloth the workman gets at least £3. On made-up clothes he gets at least £3 11s., and so on in the case of almost every other article of everyday use - but drink. For every £5 spent in drink, 2s. 6d. only goes into the labour market.

I am, sir, your obedient servant,

Mapperley Ward

Mr. James Shipstone adopted as Conservative candidate

The first meeting in connection with the forthcoming municipal elections in Nottingham was held last evening, when, under the auspices of the Mapperley Ward Conservative Association, a gathering took place at the St. Ann's Church Schools for the purpose of adopting a candidate for the ward.

Mr. G. Wigley, J.P., who presided, said that it behoved them straightway to put themselves in a fighting attitude to retain the seat for Mr. James Shipstone. That gentleman had served on the Council for three years, and he thought he was right in saying that the members of the Council on the opposite side would bear testimony to the good work he had done in that Council. Further, he said, it was possible that there would be a contest, and therefore they wanted to assure Mr. Shipstone that his seat was perfectly safe.

Mr. James Shipstone, in the course of his preliminary remarks, deprecated the idea that politics should enter into municipal elections. He then referred to the gas undertaking of the Corporation. Instead of the gas being manufactured in three widely separated establishments, he advocated that is should be made at one centre under one efficient staff. That, he believed, would enable the Corporation to supply gas at a much cheaper rate. During the last three years, he added, the gas undertaking has contributed towards the relief of the rates no less a sum than £96,000. In conclusion, Mr. Shipstone said that some gentlemen had tried to injure him by insinuating that he had become a member of the Gas Committee solely for his own private benefit, and in refuting "that dastardly statement" we wanted to "throw it back in the teeth of the slanderer".

A resolution was passed adopting Mr. Shipstone as a candidate for election in the ward.59

Mapperley Ward

Alderman Elborne "Surprised at Liberal Competition"

A meeting was held last evening at the Haydn Road Schools, Sherwood, in support of the Conservative candidate of Mr. James Shipstone for Mapperley Ward. Ald. E. N. Elborne presided.

The Chairman said he was surprised when he heard that Mr. Shipstone was going to be opposed. They did not complain of the opposition. There were several wards in which the Liberals were not being opposed, so that they (the Liberals) could not say that the Conservatives' policy was one of retaliation.

Mr. James Shipstone said the Radicals had challenged his position from, he ventured to think, a spirit of pure political hostility. He referred to what he characterised as the "extremely unfair" statements of Mr. Hamilton, who presided at the adoption meeting of his opponent. He took exception also to the words of Mr. Hamilton -

"That persons who were intimately concerned in the drink trade ought to be restrained from becoming members of municipalities or having a say in the administration of municipal affairs."

He however, regarded his business as being quite as honorable as that of Mr. Hamilton, whatever that might be. All he (Mr. Shipstone) asked was for fair play. He did not have the honour of Mr. Hamilton's acquaintance, but concluded from what he had said that he was a man of narrow and unfair views. So long as his trade was burdened in the way it was he resented such insinuations on the part of Mr. Hamilton, whether they were made as the result of ignorance or political prejudice.

Mr. Shipstone Objects

Further, Mr. Shipstone objected to the statements of Mr. Marlow, who said at his adoption meeting:

"That he never entered a public house during an election, and there has never been so much as a glass of beer given away on his behalf at an election".

He did not know whether in aking use of those words, Mr. Hamilton intended to eulogise his conduct by refraining from entering a public-house, or to infer that such places were unfit to enter. If any contest in which he (Mr. Shipstone) was engaged depended upon a glass of beer he would instantly refuse to be elected.

Dr. Milner, who supported a resolution in favour of Mr. Shipstone's candidature, said the "Nottingham Daily Express" seemed to be for ever writing on anything he had to say. That paper reported him as follows -

"A Dishonorable statement" was Dr. Milner's description of an assertion he attributed to Mr. A. Richardson that the Tory Party, though they were assured more schools were needed, refrained from building them in case the rates should go up".

Question of New Schools

(further description and complaint that Mr. Richardson's words were not only untrue but dishonest and libelous).60

Municipal Election Results

Lessons of the Fight as heard at Liberal Club

Good Auguries

(after declarations in their respective wards, the candidates joined the successful Liberals at the Gladstone Club)

Mr. T.A. Lewis, who has reduced Mr. Shipstone's majority by 169, was not at all dissatisfied with the result in the Mapperley Ward. He thought it augered well for the success of the Liberals when the next Parliamentary election was fought.

At the Conservative Club

Councillor James Shipstone was not satisfied with the result of his election, for he believed that some of his supporters had been frightened by the inclemency of the weather, and had not taken the trouble to vote. Mr. Shipstone also joined in the chorus about the nature of the opposition.61

Their gifts from the bridegroom were enamel and pearl pendants. Mr. John Hancorne Francis, of Church Park, The Mumbles, Swansea, officiated as best man. The ceremony was conducted by the Rev. C. B.

(Mentioned) Newspaper25 August 1925 James Shipstone was mentioned in a newspaper article on 25 August 1925. The growth of the local brewery

The late Mr. James Shipstone (one time member of Nottingham City Council) joined his father in the business in the early seventies (along with brother Thomas).93 
(Mentioned) Newspaper1 June 1953 He was mentioned in a newspaper article on 1 June 1953. Over a Century of Good Brewing

When James Shipstone first opened his brewery to service the people of Nottingham, he was not embarking on a novel service.

Nottingham had for centuries enjoyed a reputation for brewing; its ancient rock-hewn caves had proved ideal for fermentation and storage and Nottingham ale was famous and popular.

The peculiar mineral properties of the local waters had created and maintained a certain quality in brewing which was the envy of other towns.

Into such an establishment craft came the young James Shipstone. He was a great man with great ideas, whose courage matched the adventurous streak in his nature.

He planned along ambitious lines and was a pioneer in the application of science in the development of industry.

"Pleasantly Reached"

In a Nottingham handbook of 1852, it is recorded thus: "Basford, two miles and a half North of Nottingham, may be pleasantly reached either on foot or by railway". Here, James Shipstone founded his brewery.

In 1880, his eldest son, another James, was taken into partnership and when another son, Thomas, came in four years later, the firm James Shipstone and sons was brought into being.

On the death of the founder in 1897, the second James became chairman and continued in that capacity until his death in 1940, when James Henry and Ronald Arthur Shipstone became joint managing directors. Ronald died four years later, and James Henry carried on until his retirement brought into office his son, the fourth James Shipstone.

The House of Shipstone is now in its second century of development, and the policy established by four generations which has proved eminently successful will be maintained.

The high standard of their products is as well know as their familiar star trade mark, and their magnificent horses.94 
(Mentioned) Newspaper1 April 1961 He was mentioned in a newspaper article on 1 April 1961. As Mr James Shipstone, Brother of Enoch Shipstone, deceased (who was the Father of Miss Dorothea Shipstone).95
 
Anecdote*1969 The author (Annie Eliza Snell nee Shipstone) refers "Uncle Jim rather frightened me when he called at the Manor House. He had grown a very long beard, almost to his knees, and I remember noticing the small bits of egg, caught up in the middle, remnants from his breakfast, I presumed! I became very friendly with his wife, Auntie Louie. Their children, according to my somewhat frail memory of them were called Harry, Edith, Gordon, Chris, and Ron."96

A "Good News" Story
Golden Wedding Celebration
Milestone in the life of Mr. and Mrs. James Shipstone

Long Eaton Lay Preacher's Record of Service

A young clerk employed by a firm of wines and spirit merchants at Eastwood used to make regular visits to the rectory on business, and it was there that he met a young nurse.

Their acquaintance developed, and for four years he courted this young Rectory nurse until one memorable day in 1889 - April 2, to be exact - the wedding bells rang
(picture labelled "Mr & Mrs James Shipstone")
out and they were married by the Rector, the late Rev. H. W. Plumtree, in the Eastwood Parish Church.

And so we come over the years and congratulate Mr. and Mrs. James Shipstone, of The Nest, Recreation-street, Long Eaton, who celebrated their golden wedding on Sunday, and now at 73 and 71 years of age respectively, are looking forward to the time when their diamond wedding day will dawn.

Mr. Shipstone, who is a cousin of Sir Thomas Shipstone, of Midland Brewery fame (#), can be described as one of the best-known Nonconformists in this district. He is - as an example of this - a very familiar figure at local funerals, for during his many years' association with Long Eaton he has conducted well over 500 burials in his capacity as a lay preacher.

Born at New Basford

A native of New Basford, Nottingham, he was taken to Eastwood as a child, and was "schooled" at the local National School, later becoming a time-keeper with a Nottingham hosiery manufacturing firm.

As a young man he went back to Eastwood, and was employed in the wines and spirits business for nine years, but throughout his life has always been a strong supporter of temperance, his principles in this direction leading to his association with local Bands of Hope in days gone by.

Mr. and Mrs. Shipstone came to Long Eaton nearly 47 years ago, when he was appointed as the local agent for the Singer Sewing Machine Co., Ltd. Some years later he moved into the Stapleford and Sandiacre district to become Assistant District Superintendent of the company, and during the latter part of the war, he was in charge of the Ilkeston and Long eaton district.

In 1919 Mr. Shipstone was transferred back to this town and served as manager-salesman until his retirement in 1930, after being in the company's service for 38 years.

A Local Preacher

That's his business history, but perhaps ist is in connection with local Methodism that Long Eaton knows his best.

As soon as he arrived in this district, he became associated with the Bourne Methodist Church, of which he has been a prominent member for nearly half a century.

He was on the Chapel Trust Committee, assistant superintendent of the Sunday School years ago, class leader for 33 years and a most esteemed local preacher for 45 years in the Long Eaton Bourne Primitive Methodist Circuit.

It was only natural that while at Sandiacre he should attend the old Primitive Methodist Church, which has given way before the march of modern progress and is now a firm's premises. He was only at Sandiacre for seven years, yet in that time held similar offices to those he has filled at Bourne.

That his services in the local religious world are appreciated was fully realised by his election to the presidency of the Long Eaton Free Church Council, a position he held for the customary period of one year.

Mrs. Shipstone may not have been in the public eye so much, but one must remember that she has been the person who has made much of Mr. Shipstone's work possible. They have had ten children, five of whom are living.

The great milestone in their married life was recorded by a little family celebration at the home on Saturday.

Mr. and Mrs. Shipstone, both of whom enjoy good health, have received many telegrams of congratulation and good wishes, including messages from the members of the Bourne Church and Professor P. Ford (Professor of Economics for Southampton University) and family, who are old friends of the Shipstone family.

Townspeople, generally, will join with us in extending our felicitations to this veteran and highly respected Long Eaton couple, with a hope that they will continue to enjoy the best of health and fortune.

Grand Old Man of Methodism

Mr. James Shipstone Dies At The Age Of 82 Years

Mr. James Shipstone, the "Grand Old Man of Methodism" in Long Eaton dies at the age of 82 years last weekend at his home, 36 Recreation Street, Long Eaton. He had been ill since December 1947 at which time he was obliged to give up taking an active part in church work.

Well known in Long Eaton and district as a lay-preacher, Mr. Shipstone had been engaged in this voluntary work for 56 years. Immediately he came into the town in 1892 he joined the Bourne Primitive Methodist Church and served on the Chapel Trust Committee, was assistant Sunday School superintendent and a class leader for 32 years. He was a member of this church for 56 years.

(photo in article "Mr. J. Shipstone")

Mr. Shipstone had the record of having officiated at more than 1,000 funerals, in addition to weddings and baptisms.

Married in 1890

Although a native of New Basford, Mr. Shipstone was taken to Eastwood as a child and there received his schooling at the local National Schools. As a young man, he went back to his birthplace and found employment in the wine and spirit business, although throughout his life he was a strong supporter of temperance.

While engaged in this trade, Mr. Shipstone married in 1889, and three years later he came with his wife to Long Eaton as an agent for Singer Sewing Machines. He had a small shop in High-street Long Eaton, but a few years later moved to the Stapleford and Sandiacre district to become district superintendent of the company. During the latter part of the 1914-18 war he was in charge of the Ilkeston and Long Eaton Division.

Sales Manager

Transferred back to Long Eaton in 1919, Mr. Shipstone served as manager-salesman until his retirement in 1930, after completing 38 years with the firm. Although he was then 65, Mr. Shipstone continued working until he reached his eightieth year as an agent of the Progressive Trading Company.

One of a Methodist family, Mr. Shipstone was greatly influenced concerning religion by the late Rev. J. Flanagan, a Methodist evangelist whose sermon at Eastwood was listened to by Mr. Shipstone as a youth of 18. From that date he preached and addressed meetings continually.

Having preached at all the Free Churches in the district and being generally recognised as one of the leading Nonconformists in the district, Mr. Shipstone was elected to the presidency of the Long Eaton Free Church Council, holding the position for the customary period of one year.

Whilst living at Sandiacre he attended the Old Primitive Methodist Church, and although there for only seven years he filled most of the offices he had also held at Bourne.

"Friendly Old Man"

Many tributes have been paid to the friendly old man including the following: - "Mr. Shipstone was a highly respected and much loved man ion Long Eaton. He had the great gift of friendship, and his cheery smile and kindly greeting as he passed about the streets will long be remembered by all who came into contact with him. He always had a special interest in children. His interests in public life did not stop at the boundaries of long Eaton: they embraced national and international problems, and he was especially concerned with the achievement of world peace on a Christian basis".

The funeral took place on Wednesday at Long Eaton Cemetery, preceded by a service at Bourne Church conducted by the Rev. J. Graham, of Ilkeston, assisted by the Rev. J.A. Tingle and the Rev. C.T. Santry.

Family mourners were:
Mr. and Mrs. J.W. Shipstone (oldest son and daughter-in-law);
Mr. and Mrs. A. Booth (son-in-law and eldest daughter);
Mr. J. E. Shipstone (son);
Mr. and Mrs. K. Shipstone (son and daughter-in-law);

Death of former Eastonian. Lacemaker and Methodist Circuit Preacher

He was actively identified with the Long Eaton Bourne Methodist Church.

Gifted Local preacher

At Bourne, Mrs. Andrew Crowe exercised a formative and beneficial influence in his young life, and it was there, under the tutelage of the late Mr. James Shipstone that he first exercised his considerable pulpit gifts as a local preacher , in which capacity he was much in demand in the (then) Bourne and other circuits.

...

He entered the Wesleyan ministry after a course at Didsbury College, Manchester, he entered into his life's calling. He successfully sustained his ministry in a number of English Methodist Circuits to which he was posted from time to time.

...

Funeral held in his hime town of Totnes, prior to cremation at Plymouth.

(as he lived in Long Eaton, I assume this is James Shipstone of Long Eaton, but could be the brewer's direct family - so probably 1 of these 2.)43

(Child) Baptism24 November 1848 James Shipstone was baptised on 24 November 1848 at Bulwell, NTT, James son of John & Ann Shipstone - presume Ann to be a mistake for Hannah (there is no John & Ann family in the area at the time).1 
 He was the son of John Shipston and Hannah Fletcher. 
(Death from Burial) Death*between 25 November 1848 and 10 March 1849 From the burial record, James Shipstone died between 25 November 1848 and 10 March 1849 Stated as "CHILD" for male Birth entry in IGI, so may have died as an infant (assuming they associated the burial with the right James). Parents stated as John Shipstone and Hannah Fletcher.

Infant means probably under 5 years.5,6 
(Child) Birth-AltDecember 1848 James Shipstone, son of John Shipston and Hannah Fletcher, was also reported to have been born in December 1848 at Bulwell, NTT, From IGI male Birth entry. States parents to be John Shipstone and Hannah Fletcher.5,3 
(Interred) Burial*11 March 1849 James Shipstone was buried on 11 March 1849 at Bulwell, NTT,
As James Shipston, Bulwell, infant.
Is this the James age 0? Yes. Almost certainly.7 
Resch Note*11 March 1849 Research Note: at Bulwell, NTT,
There is a burial of James Shipston, infant 11 Mar 1849 - why do I think this is ours?
There are James' born in 1841, 1846, 1848.

1841 survives as son of James in 1851 census -
1846 survives (as James Shipstone jnr).
so I suppose this burial being James of John and Hannah is a reasonable assumption!

GRO index shows age of this death to be "5" now corrected to zero (the 5 may have been weeks), so I am happy this is ours.1,7,8
