Cemetery notes and/or description:
Étaples is a town about 27 kilometres south of Boulogne. The Military Cemetery is to the north of the town, on the west side of the road to Boulogne.

During the First World War, the area around Étaples was the scene of immense concentrations of Commonwealth reinforcement camps and hospitals. It was remote from attack, except from aircraft, and accessible by railway from both the northern or the southern battlefields. In 1917, 100,000 troops were camped among the sand dunes and the hospitals, which included eleven general, one stationary, four Red Cross hospitals and a convalescent depot, could deal with 22,000 wounded or sick. In September 1919, ten months after the Armistice, three hospitals and the Q.M.A.A.C. convalescent depot remained.

The cemetery contains 10,773 Commonwealth burials of the First World War, the earliest dating from May 1915. 35 of these burials are unidentified. Hospitals were again stationed at Étaples during the Second World War and the cemetery was used for burials from January 1940 until the evacuation at the end of May 1940. After the war, a number of graves were brought into the cemetery from other French burial grounds. Of the 119 Second World War burials, 38 are unidentified. Étaples Military Cemetery also contains 658 German burials and a few war graves of other nationalities. The cemetery, the largest Commission cemetery in France, was designed by Sir Edwin Lutyens.14,10,13

Anecdote*8 March 2006 From "Woodborough War memorial" web site

"PERCY SHIPSTONE

Percy Shipstone was born in 1889 and was the son of Elizabeth Shipstone and the husband of Mabel who was recorded as living at 306a Radford Road, Nottingham. Percy was the manager of the Co-operative store in Woodborough which was where the present day Newsagent and Post Office is situated.

Percy served as a private with 10th Battalion Cheshire Regiment. It is possible that Percy was present at the Battle of Messines which occurred between 7th and 14th. June, 1917 as his battalion is recorded as being in the second wave of the attack. As Percy died on 23 June 1917 it is likely he was injured during this campaign. It seems certain that he died of his wounds as he is buried in Etaples Military Cemetery. This cemetery is the largest British military cemetery in France and most people buried there died of their wounds. If Percy had been wounded on the battlefield, he would have first been attended to by the field hospital and then sent to a military hospital near the coast and well out of the way of enemy guns. Those who were lucky and had received a ‘blighty’ wound would have proceeded to a port and then been returned to Britain.

Fig: 8

Unfortunately, this was not to be for Percy and he died on 23rd June 1917 at the age of 28 years. The inscription on his gravestone reads "Peace after Pain". Percy’s brother, Leonard, also died of wounds and is also buried at Etaples Military Cemetery. He was younger than Percy. Both brothers are commemorated on the war memorial at Greasley Church as the two were born and brought up in that area."18 
Resch Note*15 August 2010 Research Note: at New War Memorial, Eastwood, NTT,
Officially recognised on a new War Memorial, which was dedicated in Eastwood on 15 August 2010.
Yes, 93 years late, and shortly after I had transcribed the previous memorial...
As both Percy and Leonard B Shipstone were born in Eastwood, so their presence on the new memorial is probably right, though they are both commemorated in Greasley, on parent's grave, and in the church.

Note that Percy is also named on Woodborough's war memorial too (as he lived there briefly with hs wife) - so he gets 3 mentions (Leonard only 2).19
 
(Subject) Newspaper*January 2015  He and Leonard Boden Shipstone were the subject of a newspaper article in January 2015.

Nice article in Ilkeston & District Local History Society's journal "The Herald" by Grant Shaw (with photos)

(Grant Shaw has done a fantastic article here, the basic information could well have come from this website, so I hope they don't mind me repeating the text ... and it is for the benefit of the family of those named. I visited the graves in 2013 - before I had read the letters in the article below. For additional interest, see the link and buy Grant's book Off to War - open link in separate window).

The Shipstone Brothers

A Great War Tragedy
By Grant Shaw

Percy Shipstone was born in 1889 and his younger brother Leonard in 1896 in Eastwood. Their parents were Edward Shipstone (a colliery banksman) and his wife the former Elizabeth Boden Mellor, daughter of William Mellor, a butcher on South Street, Ilkeston. By 1911 they had five other siblings and the family was living at Nottingham Road, Giltbrook. In the 1911 census when aged 14 Leonard is stated to be an "errand boy", and Percy is a "grocer's assistant". Percy (whom the family called "Poss" went on to be Grocery Manager and Buyer at the Co-operative shop at Woodborough, Nottingham. He married Mabel Hodgkinson in April 1915.

Percy joined up on 11th December 1915. Although he joined the Sherwood Foresters he was later posted to the Cheshire Regiment and underwent training at Rugeley. By 14th May 1917 he was in France. Leonard had joined the Royal Field Artillery in October 1915; he was a tall lad, and this posed a problem as the army initially couldn't find a uniform which would fit him.

(Photo of Len in his new RFA uniform)

He underwent training at the Deepcut Camp in Hampshire and sent at least one letter home to his mother, ending with the words "Absence makes the heart grow stronger".

Posted to the 402nd Battery, RFA Len was sent to fight in France, rising slightly in rank to that of "fitter". He was wounded on 26th April 1917, probably in the battle for Vimy Ridge as his unit were attached to the Canadian Army attaching there. He was sent back to a General Hospital on the coast with severe leg injuries. On 27th April Len managed to send out one of the short pro-forma cards on which the Army had allowed the briefest of messages, saying that he had "been admitted to hospital and was going on well".

(Photo of "Poss" and Mabel Shipstone)

One of Len's friends, a Bombardier H. Eyre, wrote to his parents to reassure them:

... your son Len ... got a slight wound in the leg yesterday. Len asked me to drop you a note to tell you not to worry too much for he would soon be better. He may get to England with it and he thought ... you would have worried about him. I am a friend of your son and I hope he will soon (regain?). Please let me (know) when he get a letter to you my address is the same as his. Hoping to hear from you, I remain your son's friend, H. Eyre.

Percy managed to get leave to go and see Leonard. When he arrived on 18th May 1917, he was told that his younger brother had died earlier that day. Percy wrote a letter home to his mother and father, which has survived.

The sister told me he passed away at 12pm last night and she thought he knew he was dying. He asked for his mother, Jim and Ethel. I don't know who Jim is but most probably it would be his chum so perhaps in the course of the next few days he will be writing you ... It was the shock of my life when the sister told me the news, but she said his left leg would have been 6 or 8 inches shorter than the other had he lived, but I would sooner have him lived than died as he had done. If God spares me to come back I shall be able to tell you all the news, so cheer up dear mother and don't trouble to much he has died a noble death and I know he has gone to heaven. Someday we shall all be able to meet him and what a gathering it will be. I must now close I can't bear to write any more. I will write you more details when I get settled down a little more. So good-bye and God bless you all. Ever your loving son Poss xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Percy was 28, Leonard and Percy are buried not too far apart in the huge Commonwealth War Cemetery at Etaples. In 1917 the area around Etaples contained several hospitals which together could deal with 22,000 wounded or sick. The cemetery contains 10,771 Commonwealth burials of the First World War and is the largest CWGC cemetery in France. Both brothers are commemorated on their parents' grave in Greasley Churchyard and on the memorial screen in the church itself. Percy's widow Mabel was awarded 13 shillings and ninepence a week pension. After the war, she made the trip to France and visited Percy's grave. Mabel remarried in 1931 and died in 1973 aged 85.

My friend Michael Talbot contacted me when I was researching Off to War to give me a copy of Len's memorial notice and an amusing photo which is reprinted here. He had been clearing out his mother's house as she had moved into residential care and has no idea of how these came to be in his mother's possession as there seems to be no family connection. Although Len is not strictly an Ilkeston man, his mother was from Ilkeston, so he made it into the book. After the book was published, I was approached at a WW1 event at Erewash museum by a lady who turned out to be a great niece of Len and Percy, Christine Allen. Christine kindly invited Michael and I to go and meet her father Don who provided us with much of the information and photographs in this article. I am very grateful indeed to all of them for sharing this story.

Tollerton Plane Tragedy

Young Airman Killed Instantly.

Two Somersaults.

Tragic Week-end visit to Nottingham.

A young airman was instantly killed when a machine belonging to the Nottingham Aero Club crashed into a ploughed field near Cotgrave yesterday.

He was Mr. Ronald Leslie Wing, 20, a member of a well known Nottingham family, who had taken the machine out from Tollerton Aerodrome.

Mr. Wing was the only son of Mr. and Mrs. A. Leslie Wing, of Coldwell-Road, Sheffield, and a nephew of Mr. Ronald Shipstone.

He was staying during the weekend at Reigate House, Cyprus Road, Mapperley Park.

Yesterday afternoon Mr. Wing, who was a qualified pilot, arrived at Tollerton from Nottingham, took off in a single-seater Moth, and flew at a fairly low altitude over the Cotgrave district.

Shortly after 4 o'clock he was flying at a height estimated by an eye witness as not more than 100 feet over Cotgrave Place, when he made a sharp left-hand turn, and in doing so seemed to lose flying speed. The machine rolled over twice, nose-dived, and crashed to earth within 30 yards of the main road.

On striking the ground, the plane turned two complete somersaults and was totally wrecked, the engine embedding itself into the ground some feet from the body of the machine.

People who witnessed the crash and rushed to the scene found Mr. Wing still strapped to his seat amongst the wreckage.

Eye-Witness's Story

According to eye-witnesses, the machine had been making circular flights over Cotgrave Place for some time. It had maintained a fairly low altitude, but, with the engine running normally and the machine steady in flight, nothing untoward was expected, and casual onlookers were horrified when in turn the machine suddenly rolled and crashed.
Mrs. Steward who lives in a cottage within a short distance of where the crash occurred told a "Post" representative that she was in the garden at the time. "We get used to the machines coming over from Tollerton," she said, "and take very little notice as a rule."
"The Moth machine that came over this afternoon seemed to be taking a normal course and flying steady, but the altitude seemed to me to be rather low. When the left hand turn was made, and the wing dipped, I thought at first that the pilot was going to stunt, but when the machine rolled over, and gave another roll, I realised that it was our of control. The low altitude gave the pilot no chance to recover, and the machine developed a nose dive and crashed at terrific speed."
The machine, added Mrs. Stewart, struck the ground with such a force that it bounced up again, and then turned two somersaults.

Keen Airman

Mr. Ronald Shipstone told a "Post" representative last night that his nephew was extremely keen on flying, and although he secured his certificate, only a few weeks ago, he seemed quite at home in any kind of machine. He was educated at Malvern, and was learning to be a brewer, being articled with a Falkirk firm.
He made frequent visits to Nottingham, and never lost an opportunity of going to Tollerton for a flight.
Mr. Wing was a member of the Croydon Aero Club, and some six months ago he made a daring parachute descent from an aeroplane at a height of some 4,000 feet.
The inquiry will probably be held tomorrow.

Missing Handbag

Miss Muriel Robinson, who was one of the first to go to the aid of the injured pilot, informed the "Post" to-day that when the accident happened she rushed in her car to the opposite side of the aerodrome, and left it to go to the scene of the crash. When she returned and hour and a half later she found that her handbag had been stolen.
The bag contained her Air Ministry licence and the Royal Aero Club licence, which she is particularly anxious to recover, and some two or three pounds in money. There were a large number of people about at the time.

Bulwell Section Anglers Dine

Some most interesting stories about the Nottingham tramway services were told last evening at a festive gathering of the Bulwell depot section of the Nottingham Passenger Transport Department Angling Society, held at the Olde Milton's head, Derby-road, Nottingham.

Mr. W.G. Habgood, who presided, was supported by Mr. Ronald Shipstone (a generous patron of all sports), Mr. O.K. Arnold (assistant rolling stock inspector of the Passenger Transport Department) and others. Mr. W.G. Marks (manager of the department) was unable to be present owing to family illness.

The Bulwell section yesterday fished the competition for the "Bobbie" Shipstone silver cup (given by Mr. Ronald Shipstone in memory of his little son). This was won by Mr. F.J. Bexton (for the second year in succession), Mr. W.G. Hapgood being runner-up. The match was fished in the warm waters of the canal at Trowell. Mr. Shipstone said he would give a replica of the cup to the winner each year.

During the evening, Mr. Ronald Shipstone presented to ex-inspector Frank Lowe a handsome clock subscribed to be the general public and his colleagues in the Passenger transport Service.

Mr. Ronald Shipstone.

In making the presentation, Mr. Shipstone said that no man in the public service was held in higher respect, and even affection than Mr. Lowe.

Indignant Scholars

The head master of the Morley Central School, Nottingham (Mr. J.

Ronald Shipstone Cup

Presentation at Nottingham Dinner

Tributes to the public-spirited men who have assisted the Nottingham Association for the Unemployed, particularly in the matter of organising the football league, was paid at a dinner given to the finalists for the Ronald Shipstone Cup by Mr. R.A. Shipstone at the Carlton Hotel, Noel-Street, Nottingham, last night.

Mr. Shipstone presided, supported by Mrs. Shipstone, Mr. A.G. Hines (chairman, Notts. F.A.), Mr. A. Adams (vice-chairman), Professor R. Peers (chairman of the association for the unemployed), Mr. H.A. Bennett, and Mr. H. West (organiser).
The winners of the trophy were Y.M.C.A., and the runners-up Radford, and the members of the winning team were presented by the donor with engraves cigarette cases.
In submitting the toast of "The Notts. F.A.", Mr. West expressed appreciation for the Unemployed by the Notts. F.A. in regard to referees, and in other directions. The attendance at the semi-finals and final had been disappointing and consequently the Unemployed Football League was in financial difficulties, and they were grateful for the assistance granted, and also to Mr. Adams who acted as chairman of the League.
Mr. Adams, in reply, referred to the two referees proposal, and said that he did not consider it a fair trial to test it at practice matches. He had an open mind on the matter. If it was a success it would be welcomed by those clubs who could afford two referees. It would not apply to amateur football.

Benevolent fund aim.

Turning to the subject of the Notts F.A. Benevolent Fund, Mr. Adams stated that it was being very well supported. They were aiming at £200 this season, and were within £30 of that sum. He hoped that as the result of the collection at the Notts. match this week the total aimed would be reached.

The toast of "The National Association for Unemployed Workers" was submitted by Mr. H.A. Quinn, who paid a tribute to the work of Prof. Peers.

Prof. Peers, in reply, said that when the association was started five years ago he little dreamed how it would develop. Whenever anything required to be done there had always been generous citizens who had put their shoulder to the wheel. Workshops had been provided and equipped. It was a tribute to the members of the association that they had been had any disagreement with the people whose premises they occupied.

Many people had helped them, and it was inspiring to know that there were people of the calibre and kindness of heart of Mr. Shipstone.

The toast of "The Chairman" which was submitted by Mr. H.A. Bennett was accorded musical honours. Mr. Shipstone in reply, recounted an interesting anecdote of his playing days when the referee (Dr. Tinsley Lindley) called the players together and said he wanted no ankle tapping or hooking, but plenty of honest charging, and added "I want to blow the whistle for the start, half-time, the resumption, and the finish, and no more but for goals."

The speaker went on that professional football was a career for the young man who would look after himself. Barring accidents he should have 10 or 15 years in front of him, and in that time should receive the benefits. He should be able to save half of his earnings, and retire with £1,000 or £1,300.

All the young men needed was coaching. Many young men had left Nottingham because of the lack of it. "We could fill the grounds if we had local lads playing for our teams, and it is all a question of coaching them," he declared amidst applause.50

Mr. Shipstone was "Ronnie" to an unusually wide circle of friends. No one will ever know the extent of his financial assistance to organisations and individuals. He never sought the limelight, in fact, he disliked publicity. It was only in a roundabout way that one heard of his benefactions, long after they had been made.
Mr. Shipstone was one of a family of seven. His uncle was the late Sir Thomas Shipstone, and his grandfather founded the brewery firm in 1852. Educated at Nottingham High School, he left there to enter the brewery business, and became brewer for several firms. For some time he was with Plymouth Breweries Ltd,for whom he became head brewer.
Upon the outbreak of the Great War he promptly volunteered for service and after training with the 9th Batt. King's Royal Rifles was transferred to the 4th Rifle Brigade, and proceeded to Salonika on active service in 1916.
During operations on the Balkan front he sustained a gunshot wound in the right arm which eventually had to be amputated.
Upon the death of his father Mr. Shipstone joined the firm of J. Shipstone and Sons Ltd., in 1922, and two years later was elected a member of the board of directors, ultimately becoming joint managing director with his brother, Mr. James Henry Shipstone.
In politics, Mr. Shipstone was a staunch Conservative. He filled the office of hon. treasurer of the City of Nottingham Conservative Party, while at Plymouth he was chairman of the Stonehouse Conservative Association.

Notts. County F.C. President

But it was from the realm of football that Mr. Shipstone derived one of the greatest pleasures in life. In his younger days he was a good amateur player, and later he became a fine organiser. He helped many clubs financially. When Lord Belper resigned the presidency of Notts. County Football Club in 1940, after holding that position for 10 years, Mr. Shipstone then a life member was appointed to the position.
As a boy he played for Notts. Magdala (now Nottinghamshire F.C.), and helped the formation of the Midland Amateur Alliance, at that time being a player official of Magdala Amateurs, a very successful offspring of Notts. Magdala. He was hon. secretary for several seasons. Mr. Shipstone was also a cricketer, and when he lost his arm he became a tennis player.
As Commandant of Nottingham City Special Constabulary since February 1939, he was extremely popular, and in 1943 was awarded the Special Constabulary Long Service Medal. He did everything he could to foster the movement, and was the donor of several trophies. In Freemasonry, he was a Past Master of the De Vere Lodge.64

"His loss will not only be a grievous to the city police but the vacancy will be difficult to fill. His kindness, understanding and humanity will be long remembered by all who had the privilege of knowing him."65

and
Horace Priestley (Mr. Priestley also attended family funeral(s). Appears in 1939 born 1875 an married to Clara Wright in 1899)

Mary Shipstone is almost certainly the wife of James Leslie. There are no other "Mary Shipstones" in the family at this time.



£500 each to his nephews and niece,
Leslie Bruce and Madge;

At this date he has the following living nephews and nieces in 1945:

Edith Mary had:
- Gwynedd Mary King (nee Morley)
James Hugh Gordon had:
- James Warwick Shipstone
- Pamela M Shipstone (soon to be Thompson)

Perhaps those mentioned were children of his wife's Dorrie' siblings?

(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.77 
(Mentioned) Newspaper3 February 1958 He was mentioned in a newspaper article on 3 February 1958. Named as brother of James Henry Shipstone, and became joint managing directors of Shipstone & Sons "nearly 20 years ago", in the announcement of the death of James Henry Shipstone.78

Name Variation  Samuel Shipston was also known as Shipstone. 
Resch Note*1853 Research Note:
Others have the Samuel Shipston who married Dinah Broadhead to be the son of Esau & Elizabeth Ann Richards nee Shipstone, born 1853.

There is also a Samuel Shipston of John Shipstone (carpenter) & Isabella Glover born 1854.

Neither of them are this Samuel...

The marriage of Samuel to Dinah Broadhead certificate definitely states John as his father - and he is recorded as a Brewer!!
Most likely to be this one then ... son of John & Hannah Fletcher
This is confirmed in latest GRO birth indexes, mothers maiden name is "Fletcher".

Francis Percy Adams, R.A.F., youngest son of the late Mr. W. Clarke Adams and Mrs. Adams, of Moraston Mychett, Hampshire.
The bride was given away by her uncle, Mr. James Shipstone, wore a dress of white georgette and lace embroidered in silver, and she had a veil and wreath of orange blossom, and white heather, her bouquet being composed of Madonna lilies. There was one bridesmaid, Miss Audrey Adams, the sister of the bridegroom, and she was attired in shell pink georgette, with a black tule picture hat trimmed with pink roses, her shower bouquet being also of pink roses. The bride's only ornament was a handsome gold bracelet and that of the bridesmaid an aquamarine brooch, both the gifts of Lieut. Adams, who was attended by Mr. Gilbert Meakin of Derby. Mrs. Shipstone wore copper coloured charmeuse, and had a bouquet of malmaison carnations.
The service, which was choral and included the hymn "Oh perfect love", was conducted by the Rev. Canon Holbrook, assisted by the Rev. C. Dudley Hart, the vicar.

After the ceremony, a reception was held at the Victoria Station Hotel, and the newly married pair subsequently left for London, on the way to the Channel Islands. The bride's travelling costume was of navy blue gabardine, with a grey fox stole and a black tagel hat, trimmed with lace and roses.

Her Separation Allowance

Nottingham Woman's Shocking Negligence


"You are no Mother," said Mr. T. Shipstone from the Bench this morning at the Guildhall, Nottingham, addressing a woman named Annie Stirland, 32, 50 St Paul's Street, who was charged with neglecting her three children, aged respectively 12 years, five years and 11 months.

The evidence showed that prisoner is the wife of a soldier, and on Monday last she drew her separation allowance, left her children alone in the house, and did not return until Saturday. Meanwhile neighbours had to feed her children, and eventually a doctor was called in , and after examining them ordered their removal to Bagthorpe Infirmary. An officer said the unfortunate youngsters were miserable, neglected, and wanted medical attention. When charged Stirland said "I admit it; I spent my allowance on drink".

Prisoner told the magistrates, Mr. T. Shipstone and A. H. Franks, that she was very sorry; it would not have happened but for the drink.

Mr Shipstone: "There is one thing - you are no mother".

The woman's husband appeared in the dock in uniform, and pleaded for his wife, but the bench sentenced her to a month's imprisonment, Mr. Shipstone adding "Let your children have a rest and a wash-up".59

At the private view of Sir John Robinson's yearlings at the Worksop Manor Stud, on Saturday last, a number of Mansfield and Sutton residents interested in horses were present. Sir John was prancing around on his pony and was in great form. He is a remarkable man for 83. Lady Robinson makes a charming hostess and everybody present was made to feel quite at home. A press photographer was in attendance and amongst the groups taken was one which included Sir John, Sir Thomas Shipstone, Mr. J.P. Houften M.P., Major Farr and Mr. R.L. Jones. As to the quality of his yearlings it is doubtful if the Manor Stud ever had a more promising lot.72

Humour From the Bench

Nottingham "drunks" join the laughter

"If you mean by guilty that I was drunk, I was drunk, but I don't know anything about disorderly because I was drunk!"
This was the excuse of George Evans, a sailor, 75 Hall Street, Mansfield Road, who was charged at Nottingham Guildhall today with being drunk and disorderly in Clumber Street the previous night. He was fined 5s.
When Maud Hayes, 50, a widow, of 15 Thoresby Street was charged at the same court with being drunk and incapable, Sir Thomas Shipstone inquired of the constable whether he brought the woman to the station in an ambulance.
"No Sir, a handcart", replied the constable, amid laughter.
Turning to the woman Sir Thomas remarked "You were fined 6s. the last time. We are going to increase it to 6s. 6d. to-day to include the handcart" (laughter).74

Picture house Promotion

In the Chancery Division on June 20, Mr. Justice Sargent heard an action by Ernest Henry Reddish, or Ryda mount, Edwalton, Nottingham against Albert Ball, Thomas Shipstone, and Horace William Wright, Nottingham, Francis Bernard Whitty, West Bridgford, Robert Harbridge, Nottingham, and Bernard Condor Whitty, West Bridgford, claiming damages for non-compliance with the Companies Act in connection with the issue of the prospectus of the Croydon Picture House Company, Ltd., in response to which the plaintiff subscribed for 1,600 ordinary shares of £1.

Mr Grant said that the first three defendants were promoters of the company, which was incorporated in September, 1920, with a nominal capital of £55,000. It was formed to establish a kinema in North End, Croydon. In April 1920, Mr. Wright entered into an agreement for the purchase of a property in Tamworth Road, for £10,000, which was transferred to the company for £20,000. It was a lamentable fact said Counsel, that the promoters were not straight-forward enough to tell the public that they had doubled the price. The mis-statements alleged to be in the prospectus were in regard to the provision of kinemas already in croydon, and it was not disclosed that the directors were not coming in on the footing of equal shareholders. The prospectus was issued by Nottingham men for Nottingham promotion, and was circulated among local people whom the directors could influence. The company had come to grief and was voluntarily wound up in February 1922, and there was practically nothing for the shareholders, the shares being valueless.

After Counsel's opening, a conference took place between the parties and Mr. Grant announced that the action had been settled. The defendants would pay £9,000 in cash in respect of shares which they took on sale of the property. With the assistance of that money it would be possible to make the company successful and to pay a dividend. The plaintiff thought he had been met fairly by the defendants.

Mr. Mangham, K.C. for the defendants, said they were extremely well known in Nottingham, where they had a very high reputation. They took every step that they reasonably could from the point of view of personal honesty and integrity to see that the prospectus was a complete compliance with the Act. His clients were extremely sorry that this company, which was started under their auspices, had been unfortunate but they had seen their way to agree to find a substantial sum to put the company on its legs again.

Mr. Grant said he unreservedly withdrew all charges of fraud or dishonesty.75

Gifts of £9,00 to General Hospital

From Sir T Shipstone and his company

It was announced, yesterday, at a meeting of the House Committee of the General Hospital, that Sir Thomas Shipstone had stated his intention of making a handsome gift to the Hospital Building Fund.
Sir Thomas Shipstone's personal gift is £6,000, and he has also informed the hospital authorities that his company - Messrs. T. Shipstone and Sons - will give a further donation of £3,000 making £9,000 in all.
The announcement was received with the liveliest satisfaction, not only by the committee, but also by the hospital staff, who have not forgotten previous gifts of all kinds from Sir Thomas.
Three or more similar gifts will enable the hospital to proceed with their building programme without incurring any dept.
Recent gifts to the hospital in connection with the extension scheme include the following:

Mr. W. G. Player £50,000
Sir Louis Pearson £5,000
Mr. James Forman £1,000

It was officially stated recently that when the extension is completed, the total cost of maintaining the hospital will be greatly increased, necessitating an augmentation of income by about £10,000 a year.

Her face was a mass of discolouration and the conditions of her body was described as terrible.

Improvements at the General Hospital

Generous Gift by Sir Thomas Shipstone

Old Operating Theatre Reconditioned

The old operating Theatre at the Nottingham General Hospital has just been reconditioned at the expense of Sir Thomas Shipstone, who was president of the hospital in 1927-28.

It will be remembered that last year a new operating theatre, the gift of Sir Louis Pearson, was opened by Lord Moynihan, and since then the old theatre has been undergoing reconstruction.
The cost of the work has been about £4,000.
It is impossible for a great hospital like the Nottingham to manage with one main theatre for major operations. Now it will have two, in addition to smaller theatres for othapaedic, nose, ear and throat, and minor operations, and one in the casualty department.



The "Shipstone" operating theatre, as it is now to be called, has been in regular use for 30 years, and has been the scene of operations by many eminent surgeons. The reconditioning has been carried out in a most thorough manner. New floors and walls have been formed in terrazzo, and by various devices more space had also been obtained.
New features include a fresh operating window, chromium plated and fitted with non-actinic glazing so as to exclude heat rays. Fresh fittings have been installed in the sterilising and anaesthetic rooms as well as in the theatre. All wood work has been removed so as to facilitate cleaning and avoid harbourage of germs. By a special arrangement, ether and spirits will be piped direct into the theatre instead of having to be kept there in containers. Steel and glass cupboards and shelves for instruments and other requirements have been installed.

Emergency Lighting

An attempt has been made by improving the ventilation to minimise the strain and discomfort entailed on doctors and nurses during major operations, and the air is now warmed and filtered before it enters the theatre. The operating table can be raised or lowered at a touch, and an emergency lighting system functions automatically in the vent of failure of the ordinary supply.
A considerable amount of work has also been done to the sterilising, anaesthetic and surgeons rooms, and the communicating corridor to the operating block has been re-formed.
Another improvement at the hospital consists of the reconstruction of the therapeutic department. This is now in the ropewalk block. New X-ray apparatus and lead-lined cubicles have been put in.
Good progress is bing made with the men's new medical block, which is to take the place of the terrace huts. The huts were built in 1916 for the accommodation of wounded soldiers, and has 47 beds. A portion has already been demolished to make way for the foundations of the new block. It will be a one-storey building overlooking the Park, and will contain 33 beds. The cost is about £23,000, the whole of which is being defrayed by Mr. W. G. Player, the chairman of the Hospital Monthly Board.
Messrs. Evans, Clark and Woollatt, of Wheeler-Gate are the architects for the whole alterations.90

30-ft high bonfire
Notts. Rambles' Guy Fawkes Day Rally

The members of the Notts. and District Ramblers' Federation are observing the anniversary of Guy Fawkes tomorrow with a huge bonfire at Burton Joyce.

The stack, which already towers over 30 feet high, has been built by Mr. Litchfield in the centre of some four acres of land adjoining the Lord Nelson Hotel - a few minutes from the station. Sir Thomas Shipstone generously provided a good deal of the fuel, and in his unavoidable absence the fire will be lit at eight o'clock by Mr. A. Biach, chairman of the Ramblers' Federation.

The effigy to be burned is that of the "Guy who wrote the hiking song." There will also be a pyrotechnic display, and those who support the rambers' movement as well as the general public, are invited to be present and if they choose, bring fireworks.

A feature of the event is that a refreshment bar where "coffee and hot dogs" may be obtained, has been arranged.92

West Bridgford's Two New hotels Described
Details and sketch of the Wolds Hotel
Sir T. Shipstone's Big Scheme
Messrs. Hansons' Plans for the Melton Hotel

The chief topic of conversation in West Bridgford during the past week has been the news published in our last issue that applications are to be made for the grant of licenses for the sale of intoxicants at two new hotels to be erected in the district.
The applications will be heard by the Notts. Licensing Magistrates at the Nottingham Shire Hall on Wednesday February 6.

("sketch of proposed Wolds Hotel, Loughborough Road")

...

The two applications for licences are being made by Messrs. Shipstone, Ltd., and Messrs. Hansons, Ltd., the last-named applying for the permission of the magistrates to transfer the license of the "Miner's Rest" from premises situate at Newthorpe, Greasley, to a new hotel to be built on the west side of Melton-Road, Edwalton Hill, West Bridgford.

...


Messrs. James Shipstone and Sons Ltd., whose brewery is at New Basford, are the owners of no fewer than 568 licensed houses within a radius of 30 miles of Nottingham, and during the past three years have paid over £2,100,000 to the Government for beer duty alone, along with thousands of pounds each year for other rates and taxes.

Wolds Hotel Described

Years ago, Sir Thomas Shipstone, the head of this huge concern, lived in West Bridgford and later at Edwalton, before removing to his present address near Wollaton Park. Sir Thomas is therefore particularly interested in West Bridgford and anxious to provide a luxury hotel of which all residents in the district would have reason to be proud.

£25,000 Gift to Hospital

A £25,000 gift to the Nottingham Hospital for Women by Mr. John Dane Player, a member of the well-known tobacco family, and Mrs. Player, was announced yesterday at the annual bazaar in aid of the hospital.

Announcing the gift, Mr. J. A. Simpson, chairman of the hospital committee, explained that the gift would enable accommodation to be extended from 60 beds to 100. It would also be possible to erect a separate block for puerperal fever cases, and for the building of a new nurses home. Sir Thomas Shipstone had bought a site overlooking the Arboretum for the new fever block, at a cost of £1,3000 and had presented it to the hospital.

The gift of Mr and Mrs Player was originally £20,000 said Mr. Simpson, but when the committee discovered that the better scheme would cost £21,500, and that there would also be the cost of equipping the new buildings, Mr. Player on Wednesday generously increased the gift by £5,000.104

Sir Thomas Shipstone Eighty-Seven

Still takes interest in business

Gifts To Hospital

Many people will desire to join in the extension of good wishes to Sir Thomas Shipstone, of Lenton Firs, Nottingham, who yesterday celebrated his 87th birthday. A remarkably virile man for his age, Sir Thomas still takes an active interest in the brewery company of which he is principal, and in many charitable organisations.

The Nottingham General Hospital, of which he is a governor, has particular reason to be grateful to his beneficence. In 1925 he and his firm donated £9,000 towards the Rope Walk wing building fund; in 1931 he gave £4,000 for re-conditioning of the old operating theatre, which is now known by his name; and in 1926 he made a further gift of £3,000 following Sir Louis Pearson's broadcast appeal. In all his gifts towards the hospital have exceeded £20,000.

The Eye Infirmary, Ellerslie House, the British Red Cross Society, and Nottingham University College have also been objects of his generosity.

Sir Thomas, who has been on the Commission of the Peace for the City for over a quarter of a century, was knighted in 1922. Recently he has been in indifferent health, but is now stated to be improving.110

Appeal to Horse-Owners

Providing for Air Raid Emergencies

Nottingham horse owners are asked to furnish Mr. Auchterlonie, of 65 Ilkeston Road, regional organiser of the N.A.R.P.A.C. with particulars of their stabling and standings, number of horses and a rough draught of the thoroughfares traversed by those animals, in order that steps may be taken to provide shelters for them when away from home.

In congested parts of the city old garages or other buildings may be utilised, and it is hoped to re-open the veterinary premises on the Parliament Street railway bridge for this purpose.

Help is forthcoming from many sources. Sir Thomas Shipstone has offered to place 12 standings at Basford at the disposal of the committee, and a local garage company have granted the loan for the duration of the war of a shooting brake formerly owned by the Duke of Portland. This will be used as a first-aid tender for rushing men out to deal with animals which may have been injured in a raid.114

Pay Bed Block Pays

When the Pay-Bed wing at Nottingham General Hospital was opened about 18 months ago, there was a debt on the building of slightly over £10,000

The chairman of the Board, Sir louis Pearson, decided to make a special appeal to raise the money. He wrote personal letters to his friends and others in whom he thought the spring of genrosity could be touched, and the annual report of the hospital now reveals that towards the £10,000, a sum of £7229 has been either received or promised. This total includes £2,000 from Sir Thomas Shipstone and Sir Louis himself, £1,250 from an anonymous donor and £1,000 from Lieut-Col. M. Gervia pearson. Sir Louis Pearson's daughter, Mrs. P. Cattanach, in also a subscriber.

I am sorry to say that Sir Louis has not been very well recently, and this indisposition has checked his efforts for this appeal, but I am assured that it will not be long before he raises the remaining £3,000.

It is interesting to note that the Pay Bed wing is self-supporting, and among the patients who have been treated there are the Duchess of Norfolk and Lady Daresbury.115

This was by no means the first time nor the last that he helped the hospital, of which he was president in 1927. Another example of his generosity was provided in 1931, when he gave £4,000 for the reconditioning of the old operating theatre which is now known by his name.
During the last war, he made large personal gifts to the British Red Cross Society and organised a fleet of ambulances from the brewery trade. The Eye Infirmary Ellerslie House (the home for paralysed soldiers and sailors), University College endowment fund, new local churches, and the Bomber Fund, were also objects of his generosity. He was knighted in 1922. He had been on the commission of the peace for the city for nearly 30 years.
Sir Thomas, who married a daughter of Mr. John Loverseed, of The Park, Nottingham, had three daughters, Mrs Mackness, wife of Lieut-Commander G.J. Mackness, Nottingham, Mrs Snell, wife of Dr. J. Eric Snell, Edwalton, and Mrs. Ratcliff, Derby-Road, Nottingham.
There is now only one survivor of the 12 children of Mr. James Shipstone, Mrs. Cattle, of Smalley Hall, near Derby, widow of Mr. F. Cattle, solicitor, Ilkeston and Heanor.
The interment takes place in the Church Cemetery on Thursday, and will be preceded by a service at St. Andrew's Church.

There were so many people in the auction room at Lenton Firs, Derby-road, Nottingham, yesterday, for the opening of the sale that some of the bigger lots were crowded out.

The contents of the house, the property of the late Sir Thomas Shipstone, attracted great interest among both professional buyers in the city and county and from householders.

Long before the sale was started by the auctioneer, Mr. Lionel Kirk, the room was packed.

The sale continues for five days, when hundreds of treasures, including famous pictures, antiques and bronzes will have been sold.

Some fine bronzes

The main feature of the first part of the sale was keen bidding for a number of fine bronzes - chiefly animal figures and miniature French and Florentine bronzes.

Two oriental bronze herons, standing higher than the auctioneer's assistants, fetched £2 17s. 6d. and £2 2s. 6d. respectively, while there were several keen bids for an Oriental bronze tortoise, which went for £1 10s.

A curious stuffed bird, introduced as an Australian emu, stood solemnly by until it was finally knocked-down for £1 2s.

Exquisitely-modelled bronzes, a camel and giraffe, fetched £3 10s., and a French (Manin) model of a heron and bulldog £1 10s.

A marble pedestal which had cost originally £40, went for £3 10s.

Duel for Carpets

Although they fetched only 36s., a Florentine bronze model of a mountain goat and a small model of a camel attracted interest.

A finely-carved French bronze statuette, originally costing £35 was knocked down for £4.

Also in the animal collection was an embossed lion doorstop which went for £3 5s., a stuffed leopard for £4, and a bronze elephant for £7 10s.

One of the keenest bids was for a bronze statue "The Kill", depicting huntsmen, horse and hounds. This originally cost over £80 and after bids lasting several minutes went for £17.

A French bronze group of two horses jumping a hurdle fetched £25.

A Turkey carpet was eagerly sought by two bidders and went for £52, while a Turkey rug went for £7 5s.

Keen bidding at Lenton Firs Sale

Bidders stood shoulder to shoulder in the auction room at Lenton Firs, Derby-road, Nottingham, yesterday, as they competed keenly for the fine bronzes amongst the effects of the late Sir Thomas Shipstone.

Monday's total was £2,200, and it was evident from the prices fetched by many of the lots yesterday that interest in the sale has not flagged.

An C.A. mains H.M.V. all-wave radiogram realised 143 guineas after bidding had opened at 40 guineas.

With its exquisitely carved mahogany cabinet in the form of a Chinese pagoda, the Aeolian gramophone found a quick sale at £5.

A Florentine bronze nude figure "The Huntsman", by Lanson, caught the eye of the buyers, whose bidding raised the price to £23.

Equally keen was the competition for another bronze, this time a group of two wolves by the Frenchman Joiret. It was sold for £21.

The price paid for a bronze group of two horses and a rider, by Malissard, was £15.

A handsome Turkey carpet attracted the attention of the buyers to the extent of a final bid of £42.

Possible danger to property from incendiary bombs probably proved an incentive to the purchase of a steel fire-proof safe. The successful bidder paid £34 for it.

Lively interest was also displayed in the pollard oak dining furniture. For £21 a sideboard changed hands, while for a set of ten dining chairs £29 was paid.132

Prices of 125gns., 100gns. and 80gns. were paid for pictures at the sale at Lenton Firs, Nottingham, to-day, of the late Sir Thomas Shipstone's collection of modern oil paintings and water colours. Among the purchasers was Sir Louis Pearson, who acquired a work by Louis B. Hurt "Highland Cattle" and another by J.F. Herring, sen., "Horses in Landscape".

Twenty-eight pictures were offered in the first hour by Mr. Lionel Kirk (messrs. Place and Kirk), and realised an aggregate of £644. The highest figure, £131 5s., was commanded by a work of W. Shayer sen., of cattle in a country lane entitled "Changing Pastures".

A moderately large canvas, executed by J.F. Herring sen., in 1853, horses, figures and poultry sold for £100 gns. A very fine picture by T. Sidney Cooper, R.A. (1851) "Repose in the Meadows" realised 80gns., and another large canvas by the same artist, "Summer Meadows" fetched 34 gns.

Sixty guineas was paid for Eugene Verboechoven's work of horned sheep and a pony, entitled "Good Friends"; 30gns. for a work of J. Laslett Pitt, R.B.A. "In Time of Roses", and a similar figure was reached for a view of Nottingham from the Meadows, showing the Castle in the background, executed by E.J. Niemann sen.

Competition for the pictures was keen throughout the day.

The result of yesterday's sale, when the dining and billiard room fittings, cut glass and china and household linen were sold was £2,000, bringing the total for the first two days to £4,200.

Glass and china sold remarkably well. A pair of Louise Sevres china two-handed vases and covers made £22, a Crown Derby dinner service £50, Copeland Spode dinner service £25, similar tea service £17 and £15 10s., Worcester china dessert services £18 10s. and £14. Minton china dessert service £17 102. a similar tea service £12.

The very finely and richly cut glass brought forth keen bidding, and tumblers made up to £1 each.

Remarkable prices were realised for household linen. Articles of this quality are now difficult to obtain and buyers were keen to take advantage of the opportunity. Blankets made £9 a pair, linen sheets £4 5s. a pair, bath towels 15. each and eiderdowns £5 each.133

£810 paid for a £630 car

The Sunbeam-Talbot motor car, belonging to the late Sir Thomas Shipstone, realised £810 at the auction conducted by Mr. Lionel Kirk, of Messrs. Place and Kirk, at Lenton Firs to-day.
The list price of the car, a 27-h.p. saloon, manufactured in 1939, which had been driven only 1,435 miles, was £630.

Bidding started at £500 and rose rapidly, the final purchaser being the Nottingham Car Mart, of Daybrook. The exceptionally high price realised is accounted for by the fact that new cars are not now manufactured in this country except for export, and this has caused the market for second-hand late model cars to rise appreciably. There were a number of motor dealers at the auction, but bidding was confined to four people.

The effects sold to-day included the furniture in the servants' quarters, and garden ornaments and outside property. A lead figure of Mercury on a marble pedestal in front of the house sold for £26, while two large dog kennels fetched £10 and £9 respectively.134

The day's proceeds were £1,400, bringing the total realisation of the sale to £8,100.

Once more the sporting and ornithological interests of the late Sir Thomas Shipstone were reflected in the items in the catalogue, which included a number of hunting prints, and books such as "A Manual of Coaching", "The Birds of the British Isles" and specialised works on cage birds and poultry.

Persian Prayer Rug

The highest price of the day was £150 paid for a modern carved mahogany bedroom suite, although one or two other lots fetched quite large sums. For example, in the first hour of the sale a bidder paid £34 for the crimson carpet of the main staircase together with its oxidised silver stair rods. A Persian-style prayer rug was sold for £8 10s.

Sir Ernest Jardine purchased a set of eight bentwood chairs for £2, and the former registrar of University College, Nottingham, Mr. J.E. Shimeld, bought a mahogany dining-table.

Hunting Scenes

Lenton Firs open for Convalescents

Marchioness of Titchfield expresses thanks

"Lenton Firs", Nottingham, the commodious residence of the late Sir Thomas Shipstone, was opened recently on behalf of the Red Cross and St. John War Organisation as a convalescent home. The house, with several acres of its spacious grounds has been at the disposal of the committee by Sir Thomas' executors. The key was handed over by Mrs. Eric Snell, his eldest daughter, to the Marchioness of Titchfield, Chairman of the Homes Sub-Committee, in the presence of a large and representative company.

Dr. W. Blandy, Chairman of the Joint War Organisation Committee of the two bodies presided. He made grateful reference to the people who had voluntarily helped to bring the home into being, and placed a warm tribute to the co-operation of the Regional Commissioner (Lord Trent), the Minister of Health and Sir Thomas Pain, one of the executors.

Mentioning that the Red cross and St. John had raised a little over £7,000,000, the chairman remarked that this home was an instance of how the money was spent. But it was only one; there were 27 other homes, and up to last September £122,000 had been spent on their equipment.

Fourth home in the County

The speaker announced the receipt of a cheque for £25 from the employees of Messrs. F. B Atkins Ltd.

Lady Titchfield proposed a cote of thanks to the Shipstone executors, describing the cheque from Messrs. Atkins employees as encouraging evidence of the widespread interest taken in Red Cross work. She could not speak gratefully enough of the generosity which had enabled the house to become a convalescent home. The situation, which might be within the heart of the country, was ideal. It was not easy to find a house that could accommodate 50 beds and a staff. This was the forth home open in the county. The other three were full. Mrs. Snell had told her how glad she was that her father's house was to be used for the purpose.141

Noted Nottingham Artist

Death of Mr. Denholm Davis

Mr. N. Denholm Davis, a Nottingham artist, whose work includes the frescoes at Nottingham Council House, died last night at his home in Goring-on-Thames. He was in his 75th year.

To look through photographic records of the portraits which he has painted is like studying the history of Nottingham, for there are few famous men of modern times with local associations who have not earned the attention of this artist.
His collection includes the late Ald. Huntsman, General Booth, Captain Albert Ball V.C., Sir. Albert and Lady Ball, Sir Jesse Boot, Sir Arthur Blake, the Musters family, Thos. Birkin, Wm. Kidder, the Shipstone Family, Lady Readett-Bayley and children, the late Lord Savile's family and scenes including Goose Fair.

In addition, Mr. Davis was responsible for the reredos in Wollaton Church, a window in St, Mary's in memory of the Old Crimea and Indian Mutiny veterans, and and window in Edwalton Church of the late Col. W. Brewill.

Brighter Aviaries wanted in Nottingham Arboretum

When I looked around our Arboretum the other day, the sunshine was brilliant and the flowers were beautiful - but the aviaries were derelict. In fact, if it wasn't for the parrots left by Sir Thomas Shipstone there would be nothing to see.
From about 1890-1900 there was an aviary of squirrels to amuse the children, and from 1900-1939 there were beautiful birds, and coloured photos of them. Now there are a few common-coloured budgerigars, a few unfortunate sparrows, and empty show cases. When will the war be over?

(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.148

Warwick Shipstone1

M, #2341, b. between 1 January 1940 and 31 March 1940, d. 29 January 2013
Pedigree
Resch Note* Research Note:
Warwick Shipstone (who died in Syston in 2013) is a different person to James George Warwick Shipstone.

Warwick was son of Clement & Maud Shipstone nee Adcock (of Worksop), not connected or descended from the other "Warwick"'s.

So far this person is unconnected, but is recorded so as not to be confused with other Shipstones with a name containing "Warwick".
 
Birth*between 1 January 1940 and 31 March 1940 Warwick Shipstone was born between 1 January 1940 and 31 March 1940 at R.D. Gainsborough.1 
(Registered) BC-Reg*between 1 January 1940 and 31 March 1940  His birth was registered between 1 January 1940 and 31 March 1940 at R.D. Gainsborough

(Subject) Newspaper*8 March 2012  He was the subject of a newspaper article on 8 March 2012.

Dad and daughter's personal challenges.

A father and daughter have both completed their own marathon challenges to raise money for cancer research.

Warwick Shipstone, 72, who is fighting cancer, stepped out to walk the 131 metres from his Syston home to his local supermarket on Sunday.

At the same time, his 20-year-old daughter, Olivia, was lacing up her trainers to run the Paris half marathon.

Between them the pair have raised more than £3,500 for the Leicestershire charity, Hope Against Cancer.

Mr Shipstone said: "You need two things when you have cancer. One is the skill of hospital staff, family and friends, and most of all you need hope and that is why we decided to raise money for Hope Against Cancer – it is helping people like me."

Mr Shipstone, a former teacher at Wreake Valley College, had to have a kidney removed two years ago after doctors discovered cancer.

He said: "All was going well for six months, but then doctors discovered the cancer had spread to my spine.

"I had an operation to remove some of the lesions last April and am having chemotherapy at home which, at the moment, seems to be holding the cancer.

"Staff at Leicester General Hospital, Leicester Royal Infirmary and in Market Harborough, where I had some rehabilitation, have all been wonderful."

However, as a consequence of the operation on his spine Mr Shipstone has had to learn to walk again.

He said: "Before the operation, there was a question as to whether I would be able to walk again but I did have some feelings in my toes and it is gradually getting better

"At first, I could hardly transfer from my wheelchair to bed.

"I have been progressing to using crutches, then just sticks and was determined to do this 131-metre walk unaided.

"I was delighted I did – although I was glad to see my wheelchair at the end."

So far, about £3,500 has been raised for Hope Against Cancer and money is still coming in.

Mr Shipstone said: "We had hoped for about £1,500 so are delighted with the amount which people have donated.

Meanwhile, Olivia and five friends were successfully running 13.1 miles through the streets of Paris to raise cash for the charity.

Olivia, who is on a work placement in Paris, said: "As a family, we wanted to set ourselves this personal challenge."

Wendi Stevens, Hope Against Cancer co-ordinator, said: "We admire the courage and determination of both Olivia and her father.

"Cancer is a devastating disease but with the support of local people, we hope to establish Leicestershire and Rutland as a centre of excellence for treatment."

The Shipstones Brewery

?, #2997
Pedigree
Resch Note1851 Research Note:
James Shipstone said to have founded the brewery in 1851 (according to Jan 1931 Nottingham Guardian Journal article).

If he did "found the brewery" (prior to the sale of the New Basford plot) it is not clear where.
"not proven" if founded in 1851.

James was described as a Porter living in Bulwell in November 1851.

Who bought the plot of land and houses in New Basford (for auction in 1852)?
There is no evidence that James had gathered "sufficient wealth" as a farm hand (1841) and a porter (1844 & 1851) to be able to purchase the land and dwelling houses... so perhaps he paid rent to a landlord in the early days until the business was established? Perhaps he clubbed together with his brothers, or other Nottm. businessmen (like Robert Halford) ...?

Note that James' sister Mary's husband was recorded as a brewer in 1851, a porter in 1861 and a retired publican in 1871. Mary died in late 1852.

Having lived in Bulwell since before 1849, in 1853, James has child Enoch in Basford, and is named as a brewer in 1854 and 1855.
In 1861 James & family are living near the (original) Horse & Groom pub on Radford Road.

Shocking Incident at Basford

On Sunday evening, about ten o'clock or half past, a very serious accident occurred at Basford, near Mr. James Shipstone's brewery. Mr. Shipstone is building some offices near his brewery, and a quantity of lime and bricks were left on the road. Two miners, one of whom is names Charles Eddishaw, living at Whitemoor, and the other Joseph Chambers, were returning home in a light cart when one of the wheels passed over some of the lime and bricks, and the cart was upset. Both the occupants were thrown out, and much hurt. They were taken by some persons who passed by and obtained help at the Swan Inn, and medical assistance was procured, when it was found that Eddishaw had one or two ribs broken, and Chambers head was split to the skull. ... Mr. Lineker drew attention to the serious accident which had occurred on the previous night opposite Mr. Shipstone's Brewery - Mr. Shipstone was building some offices at his Brewery, and some of the materials being left in the road , a cart passing had been upset, and two persons seriously injured. It was ordered that enquiries be made into the circumstances before any action was taken in the matter. Plans were submitted for a new Wesleyan Chapel in Market Street, Old Basford.13

Alfreton - Public House and land for sales

...

Lot 3

All that well known and Old Established BEER HOUSE known as the Railway Inn, situate on Mansfield Road, Alfreton, within a short distance of the Alfreton station and Midland Railway Company.

...

The frontage to Mansfield Road of 175 feet. The above beer house is in lease to Messrs. Jas. Shipstone and Sons for a period of five years, at a rental of £58 per annum, but the lease terminates on the 25th March next, and is therefore sold as a free house.

...

On behalf of Mr. James Shipstone, Mr J. A. H. Green made an application for a full licence for premises at the top of Market Street. As their worships knew there was a structure at the corner of Market Street and Parliament Street, which was a positive disfigurement to the town. Mr. Shipstone owned it, and proposed to erect there a building which would be a positive ornament to the town, and one well in keeping with the fine buildings which were springing up so rapidly in the old area. He asked for the licence for the convenience of the General Public, as well as to enable him to add to the beauties of the town. He did not ask for a licence to be granted where one did not exist already, but simply that they should grant him in place of the beerhouse licence which existed a full licence in order to carry on the business of a well regulated hotel. The plans had been laid before the Bench, and showed that in one portion of the premises he intended to carry on the business of his town office for the brewery and in the rest a really good hotel business. There would be bedrooms, a restaurant, and a coffee room, so that it would be a hotel capable of affording accommodation for commercial men. It was not a new licence but the extension of an existing one. The fact that a licence for the sale of beer and wine last year was granted to a neighbouring house, where suppers and dinners could be had, showed in the minds of the Bench last year there was evidently a feeling that there was a want of accommodation in that neighbourhood. He had no need to refer to Mr. Shipstone's reputation in the town. - There was no opposition.20

STAR BREWERY, NEW BASFORD
NOTTINGHAM

The extensive Brewing and Malting business of Messrs. James Shipstone and Sons was established in 1852, and was successfully carried on as a private firm until 1890. The present Company (in which nearly all the Shares are held by the former partners) was incorporated in 1891 for the purpose of taking over the business and assets of the firm, and has continued to carry on a profitable and increasing trade up to the present time.

The present issue for Debenture Stock is being made principally for the purposes of paying off existing Mortgages and charges upon the properties of the Company, and also in part to provide capital for further extension of the business by the purchase of additional properties and the establishment of new departments of trade.

The Stock will be secured by a Trust Deed constituting a First Mortgage to Trustees for the Holders, of the Brewery, Maltings and premises at Basford and Bulwell, and of 30 freehold and 4 copyhold licenced houses and other properties situate in Nottingham and the surrounding District, which have cost the Company over £117,000. The Company also holds upwards of 30 licenced houses on short lease, which form a valuable and important addition to the business of the Company.

All properties to be hereafter purchased by the Company will be conveyed to the Trustees and form part of the security for the Debenture Stock (subject to any mortgage or charge which the Company may create thereon).

The Debenture Stock will also be secured by a floating change upon all the assets and undertaking of the Company. On the 31st December, 1894, the date of the last balance sheet, the stock-in-trade, plant, and other assets of the Company amounted to £35,461 4s. 4d.

The nominal capital of the Company is £200,000, of which £91,360 has been issued in £60,000 five per cent. Preference Shares and £31,360 Ordinary Shares, all of which are fully paid up.

The average yearly earnings of the business for the past three years, after charging all expenses except interest on mortgages and loans, amount to £11,799. The amount required to pay the interest on the whole of the proposed Debenture Stock would be £3,600.

The Auditors' Certificate is as follows:

"10 South Parade, Nottingham"
4th April 1895.

"We have audited the books and accounts of Messrs. James Shipstone and Sons , Limited, from the formation of the Company to the 31st. December 1894.

"We certify that, after charging all expenses except interest on Mortgages and loans, and making ample allowance for depreciation and writing off bad debts, the profits of the three years ending December 31st 1894, haver been as follows:

(Year)     £     s.     d.
1892     10,634     4     1
1893     12,079     15     9
1894     12,684     18     11
Total:     £35,396     18     9

Giving a yearly average of
     £11,799     12     11

The Brewery, Maltings, freehold and copyhold licensed houses, and other real and leasehold properties comprised in the draft of the Debenture Stock Trust Deed have cost the Company over
     £117,000     0     0
The stock-in-trade, plant, and other debts stood, on 31st December 1894, at:
     £35,461     4     4


Making the total assets (exclusive of Goodwill)
     £152,461     4     4
HUBBART and DUROSE

"Chartered Accountants, Auditors"


It will be seen from the above Certificate that the present assets amount to £152,461. To this must be added the surplus of the present issue over existing charges available for further extension of the business (£10,000), making the total of £162,461, upon which the Stock will be secured.

The average annual profits as shown above represent more than three times the sum required to pay the interest on the Debenture Stock.

The profits since the formation of the Company have shown a steady increase, and the sales during 1894 were in excess of those of any of the preceding years.

Most of the Freehold and Copyhold Licensed Houses and Properties stand upon the books as at a valuation made in 1891. It is probable that a new estimate would show an increase of from 5 to 10 per cent.

A reserve account has been opened and already amounts to £6,000. It is intended to add to it yearly.

This Issue has not been underwritten.

The interest will be payable on the 1st day of May and the 1st day of November in each year. The first payment of interest will be made on the 1st day of November 1895, and will be calculated on each installment from the date of payment.

Applications for the Stock, on forms prescribed, accompanied by a remittance of £10 per cent., must be forwarded to the Company's Bankers.

If the whole amount applied for be not allotted the surplus amount paid on application will be applied towards the remaining installments, and in case so allotment is made the deposit will be re-turned forthwith.

The Article of Association of the Company and the proposed Trust Deed can be inspected at the office of the Solicitors of the Company.

Prospectuses and Forms of Application can be obtained at the offices of the Company, or from the Bankers or Solicitors.

James Shipstone & Sons Ltd.

The ordinary general meeting of the shareholders of this company was held in Nottingham on Wednesday, when Mr. R. Halford, J.P. (the chairman of the company) presided and there were also present the following directors: - Mr. James Shipstone, Mr. Thomas Shipstone, and Alderman J. P. Ford.

The chairman in his opening remarks, referred with deep regret, to the death of the former chairman of the company, Mr. James Shipstone, sen., which took place some months ago. The chairman then proceeded to say that he had great pleasure in laying before them the report for the year ending December 31st. 1897, showing results that were highly satisfactory, both as to the increase in the volume of business done, and in the results to shareholders in profits. He was pleased to be able to tell them that the total profits of the year amounted to £23,294 8s. 6d., with the balance brought forward from 1896 amounting to £741 15s. 10d., they had an available amount of £24,035 4s. 4d. to deal with. After payment of interest on new mortgages and loans and the interest on the first and second debentures, there was left an able balance for disposal of £17,119 0s. 10d. The directors recommended that this balance should be appropriated by payment of the usual dividend of 5 per cent. on the preference shares, a dividend of 10 per cent. on the ordinary shares, that £8000 should be carried to the reserve account, (making the reserve £20,000) and the sum of £2,983 0s. 10d. should be carried forwards to next year.
He might say that whilst pursuing a progressive policy in the management of the company's business, the directors were determined to conserve the interest of the shareholders by not paying a higher dividend than 10 per cent., although the results of the trading would have amply justified them doing so, and felt sure that the policy would fully commend itself to the shareholders. He might also add that ample allowance had been made for depreciation of machinery and rolling stock, and a liberal expenditure had incurred in repairing and keeping up the companies properties, and the shareholders might feel assured that their property and business was in a highly satisfactory condition.

- On the motion of the chairman, seconded by Ald. J.P. Ford, Messrs. Hubbart and Durose were re-elected auditors of the company. The meeting closed with the usual vote of thanks to the chairman.

James Shipstone & Sons Ltd.

The ordinary general meeting of the shareholders of this company was held at the registered office, Star Brewery, New Basford, yesterday. Mr. R. Halford, J.P., the chairman of the company, presided. There were also present Mr. James Shipstone, Mr. Thomas Shipstone, and Mr. Ald. Ford (directors), and others. Mr. Durose, auditor, also attended.

In moving the adoption of the report and accounts for the year 1898, the chairman remarked that the trading of the past year had again considerably increased, and the net profit had grown in like proportion to the increased turnover. The total profits of the year amounted to £27,598 02. 10d., which, with the balance of £2,988 0s. 10d. brought forward from the previous year's accounts, gave an available balance of £30,576 1s. 8d. After payment of the interest on the interest on the debentures, and interest on new mortgages and loans there was a balance of £21,657 19s. 8d. for distribution. This very satisfactory result had been arrived at after making large allowances for depreciation of leaseholds, machinery, plant &c., and in addition to that a considerable amount had been expended during the year on permanent improvements which might fairly have been charged to the capital account. The usual dividend of 5 per cent. per annum on the preference shares has already been paid, and the director's recommended a dividend of 10 per cent. should be paid on the ordinary shares, that £10000 should be added to the reserve account, and that the balance of £5,521 19s. 8d. should be carried forward.

With respect to the dividend of 10 per cent. proposed to be declared on the ordinary shares, he would observe that the shareholders might think that with so large a net balance available, an increased dividend might have been paid; but he (the Chairman) strongly recommended them to adopt the policy of adding to their reserve account for some time to come. The money so reserved was used in extending the company's business, and whilst strengthening the position of the debenture and preference shareholders of the company, it would also materially add to the future profits. As evidence of this very sound basis upon which the company's business was conducted, he would inform the shareholders that in the whole of their licensed houses they had not, nor had they had for a long time past, any house under management or in which they were interested otherwise than in the ordinary relationship of landlord or tenant, in other words, every tenant had his own capital invested in his business. A further satisfactory and, he might perhaps say, exceptional feature was that the total amount of money advanced to tenants, or in fixtures and fittings belonging to tenant right, was only a trifle over £8,000. The bad debts for the past year had amounted to only £160. He thought with these facts and figures they might fairly challenge comparison with any similar business in the country

An important step has been taken during the year in the purchase of the Carrington Brewery Company, which was taken over on the 31st December last. The directors had every reason to be satisfied with that purchase. The trading of the Carrington business as distinguished from Shipstone and Sons had, no doubt, owing to the superior article we were able to produce already considerably increased, and with the economy that would be effected by the amalgamation of the two breweries the shareholders might confidently look forward to a large increase in the future profits.

Before formally submitting the resolution he (the Chairman) felt that it was only due to Messrs.James and Thomas Shipstone that he should refer to the obligation the shareholders were under to them for the great zeal and ability they had each brought to bear upon the business of the3 company due in the past year, and he also desired to acknowledge the services of all members of th staff and all the workmen generally connected with the company. He had much pleasure in moving the adoption of the report.

The motion was seconded by Ald. J.P. Ford, and was carried nem. con.


The retiring director, Ald. Ford, was re-elected, as also were Messrs. Hubbart and Durose, the retiring auditors.

The proceedings terminated with a vote of thanks to the chairman for presiding.

PROSPECTUS


The Company was incorporated in 1891 for the purpose of taking over the business and assets of the firm
James Shipstone and Sons, established in 1852, and has continued to carry on a profitable and increasing trade up to the present time.

The Company has now purchased (as from the 31st December 1898) the old-established business of the Carrington Brewery Company, with the whole of their Freehold, Copyhold and Leasehold Properties, and the trade assets; also a number of other valuable Licensed Properties, part of which are at present under lease (from the former owner) to another Brewery in the neighbourhood.

The net proceeds of the present issue of £350,000 Stock will be applied in redeeming and paying off all the existing Mortgages, Debentures, and Loans of the Company, in completing the purchase of the Properties above referred to, and in carrying out certain extensions which have become necessary owing to the great increase in the business of the Company.

The properties owned by the Company comprise the following: -

     (a) The Freehold Breweries, known as the "Star" Brewery, New Basford, Nottingham, and the Carrington Brewery, Carrington, with the Fixed Plant, Stores, Stables, Offices etc.
     (b) 142 Freehold and Copyhold Licensed Hotels, Public Houses, Beerhouses, and Off-Licensed Shops.

Messrs. Morris and Place, of Nottingham, have made a valuation of the Properties, and a copy of their valuation is appended. From this it will be seen that the value of the Freehold, leasehold and Copyhold Properties amounts to :     £531,478 0 0

To this should be added: -

Additional working capital provided by this issue, say      £70,000 0 0
(Total):      £558,610 0 0

Nottingham Bankruptcy Court
To-day (before the Registrar (Mr. R. H. Speed).

A Publican and her Landlords

Hannah Slater, of 69, Dane-street, lately of the Dog and Gun Inn, Trinity-street, came up for her public examination. - The debtors statement of accounts disclosed gross liabilities of £170 18s. 4d., all of which with the exception of £20 is expected to rank for dividend, with assets of £75 12s. 9d., leaving a deficiency of £74 5s. 7d. - In answer to the Official Receiver, the debtor stated that she resided at 69 Dane-street and lately carried on business at the Dog and Gun Inn Trinity-street. She had stated her liabilities at £150 15s. 4d., and her assets at £76 12s 9d. Her husband was previously landlord of the public house, and she succeeded him at his death in June 1893. The Carrington Brewery Company Limited, were landlords at that time, and her husband died insolvent, and in the meantime she had paid a considerable amount of her husband's debts on her own account, the whole of which were not paid off. She considered that if she had a fair valuation she would have been able to clear off her debts. She was accepted as tenant by Messrs. Shipstone and Sons, Limited, when they took over the public house, and received notice to quit, which would have expired next September. She then owed half a year's rent, and the landlords told her that if she did not pay the money they should send in the bailiffs. A valuation was made prior to her leaving the house, Mr. Warwick acting for her, and Mr. Frank Johnson for the company. Nothing was said to her personally as to whether the valuation was made between herself and James Shipstone, or between herself and the incoming tenant, and she only knew who the incoming tenant was the day before she left. Neither was she told that James Shipstone and Sons were going to buy the public-house and the stock and fixtures; nor did she know that the valuation money was actually paid to the company. She endorsed the licence, and signed four papers at the company's office, but they were not read to her, and she did not know the content of them. She did not at any time consent to Shipstone and Sons taking the entire valuation, and when she heard that they were proposing to stop not merely the rent, but also their beer account, she said "But what about Mr. Warwick?" Mr. Shipstone replied that they would see him all right, and then she asked "How about Mr. Ford?" adding that he had been a very good friend to her, and Mr. Shipstone said in answer to her that he was connected with the same firm, and they would see him all right. She told the firm that she could not owe them £70 for beer; it was £20. - Asked by the Official Receiver why she allowed the company to stop £75, she said that they did about as much as they liked with her, and she was in "such a way" about it. When she was told the day after the valuation that it only amounted to less than £100 she was nearly heart broken.

The Official receiver produced a receipt for £75 1s. given to the bankrupt after the valuation for monies which had been received on account of stock &c., out of the valuation, and debtor stated that such an account was not due from her for beer. All that she remembered owing was £20, but Mr. Shipstone told her that including the rates and everything that was due from her the money from the valuation would just about meet the bills. She admitted that she has kept no account herself of what she owed for beer, and the Official Receiver thereupon stated that he must have all the bills in her possession. Mr. Shipstone told her she owed £20 for beer, and she could not explain why it was that she allowed him to stop £75. At that time she did not know what the valuation had come to, but learned in the morning following that on which she left the Dog and Gun. She was certain that she told Mr. Thomas Shipstone that she had other creditors besides his firm, and he replied that he would see to it. When Mr. Shipstone gave her the £5 she had not a shilling in her pocket. He said he was sorry for her, and would give her the £5 out of his own pocket, replying that it was simply a gift. That was the only sum she had in respect of the valuation she believed was £90 12s. 3d., and after paying rent &c., the balance due from them was £60 15s. 3d., but all that was stopped by Messrs. Shipstone, with the exception of the £5. - The examination was closed.

Annual Meeting of Shareholders

The annual meeting of the shareholders of Messrs. James Shipstone and Sons, Limited, was held at their registered offices , Basford, yesterday.

Report of the Directors

For the year ending December 31st, 1899, to be presented to the Ordinary Shareholders at the Annual Meeting on May 3rd, 1900 :-

The Directors have pleasure in presenting their Report on the Company's Trading for the year ending December 31st, 1899.

In the early part of 1899 an issue of Preference Shares amounting to £120,000 was made, and in June the 4 per cent Irredeemable Debenture Stock of the Company, amounting to £350,000, was also issued.

The whole of of the 4 1/2 per cent. Debenture Stock of the Company has now been paid off, with the exception of the sum of £23,900, which the Stockholders prefer to keep until maturity. The funds required to pay off this stock have been separately invested in the names of the Trustees in accordance with the provisions contained in the Company's Prospectus relating to the new stock.

The Directors are pleased to state that the acquisition of the undertaking of the Carrington Brewery Company, and of other important properties, has been fully justified by the results of trading during the year.

It will be seen from the Profit and Loss Account that the net profits of the Company for the year, after making ample provision for depreciation, amount to the sum of £41,215 4s. 6d., which together with the balance of £5,521 19s 8d. brought forward from last year, gives an available total of £46,737 4s. 2d.

There has been disposed of by way of Interest on Debentures, Dividend on Preference Shares etc. as shown by
the Profit and Loss Account the sum of: £22,875 18 2

And the Directors recommend the appropriation of the balance as follows:

Dividend at 7 1/2 per cent per annum on the Ordinary Shares £109,760 (free of tax) 8,232 0 0
To Carry to Reserve Account (making the Reserve £37,500) 7,500 0 0
To write-off the Suspense Account 7,000 0 0
To carry forward to next year 1,129 0 0

Making the total £46,737 4 2

Mr. Robert Halford, Chairman of the Directors, retires in accordance wit the Provisions of the Articles of Association, and, being eligible, offers himself for re-election.

The Auditors, Messrs. Hubbart and Durose, also retire and offer themselves for re-election.

Balance Sheet, 31st December 1899

(detail of profit and loss, inc assets, depreciation etc.)

...


We have examined the Accounts of Messrs. James Shipstone and Sons Limited, for the year ending December 31st 1899, and certify that the above Balance Sheet is in accordance therewith, and in our opinion fully reveals the position of the Company on the date named. The Stocks-in-Trade have been certified by the various Departmental Managers.

Dated this 19th day of April 1900
HUBBART and DUROSE,
Chartered Accountants, Auditors, 10 South Parade, Nottingham

Mr. Robert Halford, the chairman of directors, expressed the pleasure it gave him to meet the shareholders with the statements of accounts, which he considered was of a very satisfactory nature. The year had been an eventful one in the history of the company. They took over the business of the Carrington Brewery Company on
January 1st, 1899; and, as he ventured to predict in speaking of the purchase of that business a year ago, the result of the trading had been altogether satisfactory. They had thus far kept the accounts relating to the Carrington Brewery Company's business entirely distinct from the Basford business.
This for two reasons: The actual business was still being carried on from the Carrington Brewery until such time as they would be in a position, with their new brewery at Basford, to consolidate the whole of the business there; the other reason was that they thought it desirable to know exactly what the result of their purchase had been, so that they might see how far it had proved satisfactory, or otherwise, and he was therefore able to state that the final audit of the accounts for the year showed the purchase of the business was a wise one and that it had already proved a source of additional profit to the company, though they were by no means reaping the full increase that would be derived when the whole of the company's business had been centralised in regard to manufacture at the Basford brewery. With exactly the same number of houses at the time they were purchased, the actual output of those houses was considerably larger than was the case under its former management, and moreover during the present year up to April 30th, 1900, as compared with the first four months of 1899, the output has been considerably in advance of that of the previous year.

The new brewery at Basford, as they were aware, was in progress, and although they could not hope to see it completed by the end of the present financial year, they hoped that in the following year, an any rate, they would have such building and equipment that they would be able to transfer to the whole of the brewing operations to Basford, and hence there would be a considerable economy, which must affect the results in the direction of profits. They had, as the report showed, issued additional Preference shares to the value of £120,000, and had also carried through the issue of 4 per cent. Debenture stock to the amount of £350,000, and also redeemed the old Debenture stock with the exception of an amount of £23,900, which the present holders are retaining, and which will be paid off at the maturity in July, 1905. In th meantime, that amount, in accordance with the terms of recent issue, had been invested in the names of the trustees for the Debenture holders on terms very satisfactory to the company and the trustees.

He (the chairman) had now reached what was usually considered the most important part of the business, the result of the year's trading, and they would see from the report that the net profits of the company for the year amounted to £41,215 4s. 6d.
That amount is arrived at, as stated in the report, after very full allowance made for depreciation of leaseholds and plant, rolling-stock, &c., and full allowance of made for any possible bad debts. He thought it would be very satisfactory to hear that, on the Basford business, the bad debts for the whole of the year did not exceed £120. They had had to write off a sum of something exceeding £300 in respect of bad debts in connection with the carrington business, but the whole of that amount was in respect of debts owing before the company took over the business; and he ventured to say he did not anticipate the total bad debts for the present year would amount to £100, and they could not have stronger evidence of the sound character of the business than is afforded by this fact. It also affords very strong evidence of the very great care and attention that must be given to the business by Mr. Thomas Shipstone and those associated with him in that part of the business.

They had now to deal with a net profit of £41,215 4s. 6d. and also the balance of £5,521 19s. 8d. brought forward from last year, and available profit of £46,737 4s. 2d. They had already paid out of that sum in director's and trustees' fees, interest on Debenture stock, dividend on Preference shares, &c., a sum amounting to £22,875 18s. 2d., and now proposed the appropriation of the balance as follows: - To pay a dividend on the Ordinary shares at the rate of 7 1/2 per cent. (free of tax) £8,232, to carry to reserve account £7,500 (making a total of £37,500 to credit of reserve account), to write off the suspense account £7,000, and to carry forward to next year the balance of £1,129 6s.

With regard to the assets shown in the balance sheet, the goodwill on both businesses stands at £36,812 9s. 11d. Against that there is the credit of the reserve account, £37,500, so that practically the whole of the assets, as set forth on the credit side of the balance sheet, represent existing values, and they represent valuations that would realise amounts very greatly in excess of the sums at which they stood in the balance sheet.

The directors will make it their policy in future to strengthen the business in every possible way by setting aside, from time to time out of the profits of the business, substantial amounts to the reserve account, so that, to a very large extent, the future extension may be made out of funds actually existing within the company.

They deem that the right, safe, and sound policy to pursue, and we think they, the shareholders, will support us in carrying out that policy. He had much pleasure in moving the adoption of the report - Mr. Ford seconded the adoption of the report.
It seemed to him that everyone connected with the company would be satisfied with the balance sheet produced that day. He believed that next year an even better one would be produced.

Mr. James Shipstone supported the resolution, and said that the work done was extremely satisfactory. It was very satisfactory to those who worked on the business to know that their efforts had been successful and appreciated by the directors and shareholders. The trade results verified the old adage that "Union is strength", and the strength of the company lies in prosperity.

The Chairman stated that the Stock Exchange had granted a quotation for the Debenture Stock.

Mr. Halford was re-elected chairman of the company, on the motion of Mr. James Shipstone, seconded by Mr. Thomas Shipstone.

Messrs. Hubbart and Durose were re-elected auditors of the company, on the motion of Mr. Halford, seconded by Mr. Thomas Shipstone.

A vote of thanks to the chairman, proposed by Mr. Ford, and seconded by Mr. Durose, to which Mr. Halford suitably replied, closed the meeting.

District News - Ilkeston
Serious Street Accident

A little before 5 o'clock on Tuesday evening a Brewer's dray belonging to Messrs. J. Shipstone & Sons, Limited, was standing near the General Havelock Inn, Regent Street, Ilkeston, laden with empty barrels. During the temporary absence of the driver, the pair of horses attached to the dray suddenly took fright, and dashed off down Nottingham Road, at a terrific rate. After going half a mile, the dray came in contact with a cart standing near the White Cow. The trap was smashed to matchwood, and a woman and her daughter named Burton, who came from Long Eaton, were pitched violently to the ground. The mother escaped with severe bruising, but the daughter, who is 14 years of age, was not so fortunate, her right leg being broke below the knee. The collision caused one of the brewery horses to fall, which brought the dray to a standstill. Superintendent Daybell, with his trap, was close at hand, and referred valuable assistance. Miss Burton being subsequently taken to the Ilkeston Hospital, where the broken limb was set by Dr. Paton.37

Writs issued against the Corporation

Amongst the business to be considered at the monthly meeting of the Nottingham City Council, on Monday, will be a report presented by the Town Clerk, as to actions and complaints against the Corporation with respect to damages alleged to have been sustained through the carrying on of the Basford Gas Works.

The report states that for some time past complaints have been received from Messrs. Shipstone and Sons Limited, of the Star Brewery, Radford Road, and from Messrs. H. Ashwell and Son, also of Radford Road, bleachers, of the pollution of their respective wells, such pollution being alleged to have been caused by gas or other polluting matter from the gasworks of the Corporation discharged or allowed to escape into the strata from which the supply of water for the wells before mentioned is drawn. Complaints have also been received from Messrs. Morris, Wilkinson and Co., and from Messrs. Mathieson and Sons Limited, both carrying on business as basket manufacturers in Radford Road, of damage and injury to their businesses caused by the processes of gas manufacture carried on at the Basford Works.

Free Beer

Thirsty Draymen Tap the Barrel

A Nottingham Prosecution

Three brewery draymen, named William Russell, Alfred Dudley and Henry Tye, all of Basford, were charged at the Shire Hall, Nottingham to-day, with stealing four quarts of beer belonging to Messrs.. James Shipstone and Sons.

Mr. J. A. H. Green, in prosecuting, said that there was amongst some of the draymen a practice of spiking the barrels and helping themselves to the beer. Usually in was done in the country lanes, the draymen collaborating in the theft. After the cask was opened and the beer drawn off the hole was plugged and covered with dirt, a keen scrutiny being necessary to discover that the cask had been tampered with. The firm had suspected of late that thefts of this kind were going on, and a watch was kept on July 23rd in the village of Bilborough, where the defendants were caught helping themselves in this manner. Messrs. Shipstone had obtained convictions in similar cases before, and a notice setting forth the fact was posted in the stables. Also the defendants were breaking strict rules in going through Bilborough. Mr. Green added that he was instructed to press the case against these men and to ask the Bench to make an example of them.

James Holt, the manager of Messrs. Shipstone's forwarding department, said the barrel sent out in Russell's charge contained 54 gallons, but when subsequently examined it contained a gallon less. The beer had been tampered with.

P.C. Lowings stated that he and P.C. Anderson hid behind a hedge at Bilborough and saw Russell bore a hole in one of the barrels with a gimlet. He filled two quart bottles from it, and Tye and dudley each filled another bottle. Russell and Tye put their bottles in the bags beneath the drays, and Dudley threw his into the grass. The gimlet holes in the barrel were plugged.

All three men pleaded guilty and appeared contrite. Russell pleaded as a reason for lenience a wife and nine children, and Tye a wife and 9 children. None of them had been summoned before.

Russel: Don't you think it would be better if the men were allowed a quart of beer when they are going such long distances?
Mr. Green reminded him that they get 6d. or 9d. for beer money, according to the distance they have to go.

Each of the co-defendants were fined £40s., or 40 days.48

BREWERY COMBINE

Nothing Known of the Move in Nottingham

The Effects of Raised prices

A gentleman prominently and actively identified with the brewing industry in Nottingham told the Post representative to-day that nothing has yet been heard, locally, of any Government action in the direction of amalgamation of the local breweries on the line of the experiment in Sheffield (see next article, below). The joint body of brewers, which is responsible for the trade in the city, has not up to the present, at all events, been in any way approached on the subject, and time alone can show whether the proposal, which is the subject of discussion at Sheffield, is intended to be applied generally.

At the other end of the scale, license holders in Nottingham and district find themselves very heavily hit by the recent inflation of prices , especially as regards the supply of beer.

...


GOVERNMENT EXPERIMENT AT SHEFFIELD

Twenty Firms Affected


Drastic action is foreshadowed by a Government experiment which is to be put into operation in Sheffield. The twenty brewing companies in the city, with a capital totalling about £2,000,000, have received a strongly worded intimation fro the Government that, unless they voluntarily amalgamate within a given time, compulsory measures will be taken to enforce this in the interest of labour and financial economy. The breweries are not today working to full capacity, and the Government contend concentrated production will release many men from a non-essential trade for the army as well as National Service, and will also be a financial saving.

The brewers have jointly discussed the proposals and agreed in principle to seventeen of them closing down.

...

This is a war measure, and if successful in economising labour, power, and capital will become general throughout the country. Brewers are opposed to it, but stated yesterday that the Government are adamant.56

Messrs. Shipstone and Sons

Local Brewery Income Tax appeal fails.

Assessments Respecting Beeston Company

Mr. Justice Rowlatt, in the King's Bench Division to-day, had before him an income tax appeal brought by Messrs. James Shipstone and Sons Limited, brewers of Nottingham, in respect of assessments made upon them for the years ending April, 1924, and April, 1925, in sums of £8,589 and £5,350 respectively.

These assessments, it was stated, were additional assessments made upon the company on the ground that they had succeeded to the business of the Beeston Brewery Co. Ltd. Messrs. Shipstone disputed this contention.

The dispute turned upon an agreement made between Messrs. Shipstone and the Beeston Co., whereby Messrs. Shipstone took over the brewery and "tied" houses of the Beeston Co. for three years, from July, 1922. The Crown contended that the arrangement made between the two companies constituted a succession of the Beeston Brewery Company's business by the appellant company, which justified the making of the assessments in question.

The Income Tax Commissioners for the Nottingham division had held that the leasing of the brewery, and the licensed properties, together with the acquisition by Messrs. Shipstone of a controlling interest in the Beeston Brewery Company constituted a succession of business, and they confirmed the arrangements. From that decision Messrs. Shipstone appealed to his Lordship.

Mr. A.M. Latter, for the appellant company, said they had never used the Beeston Brewery premises for brewing. They had i fact closed the place down as a brewery. Messrs. Shipstone had not taken over the debts and liabilities of the Beeston company, nor had there been any transference of staff.

Mr. R.P. Hills, for the Crown, submitted that Messrs. Shipstone, in taking over the licensed houses, took over from the Beeston Brewery Company the only custom that mattered, and that fact very strongly supported the Commissioners findings that there was succession.

Mr. Justice Rowlatt dismissed the appeal with costs. The trade of brewers, he said, was not the holding of tied houses - but the selling of beer to the tied houses - that was to sell the beer through the tied houses as salesmen. That was the backbone of the business. The Commissioners seemed to have taken the view that, inasmuch as Messrs. Shipstone gathered into their hands these channels of sale, they had succeeded to the business of the Beeston Company in its substance and backbone.
It seemed to him that that was well within the ambit of the question of fact. That made the Shipstone Co. successors unless the continuance of the old Beeston Brewery could be held to be essential to a succession. The point was a very nice one, but he did not think the continuance of the brewery was a legal essential.

Messrs. Shipstone apparently did not want anything to do with Beeston beer; perhaps they did not believe in it, and thought that the Shipstone beer was very much better. The trade was not the selling of any particular beer, but simply the selling of beer. There was the trade - the consumption of beer at the licensed houses, and the Shipstone Co. thought doubtless that they would get the benefit of such consumption.

In the circumstances, he did not think he could set aside the findings of the Commissioners on what was essentially a question of fact.71

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).

West Bridgford's Two New hotels Described
Details and sketch of the Wolds Hotel
Sir T. Shipstone's Big Scheme
Messrs. Hansons' Plans for the Melton Hotel

The chief topic of conversation in West Bridgford during the past week has been the news published in our last issue that applications are to be made for the grant of licenses for the sale of intoxicants at two new hotels to be erected in the district.
The applications will be heard by the Notts. Licensing Magistrates at the Nottingham Shire Hall on Wednesday February 6.

("sketch of proposed Wolds Hotel, Loughborough Road")

...

The two applications for licences are being made by Messrs. Shipstone, Ltd., and Messrs. Hansons, Ltd., the last-named applying for the permission of the magistrates to transfer the license of the "Miner's Rest" from premises situate at Newthorpe, Greasley, to a new hotel to be built on the west side of Melton-Road, Edwalton Hill, West Bridgford.

...


Messrs. James Shipstone and Sons Ltd., whose brewery is at New Basford, are the owners of no fewer than 568 licensed houses within a radius of 30 miles of Nottingham, and during the past three years have paid over £2,100,000 to the Government for beer duty alone, along with thousands of pounds each year for other rates and taxes.

Wolds Hotel Described

Years ago, Sir Thomas Shipstone, the head of this huge concern, lived in West Bridgford and later at Edwalton, before removing to his present address near Wollaton Park. Sir Thomas is therefore particularly interested in West Bridgford and anxious to provide a luxury hotel of which all residents in the district would have reason to be proud.

The committee appointed considered the conditions for the competition for the best malting barleys grown in the county for 1936 crop, and £100 is again being given to the Society ot use, as was used for 1934 and 1935 crops.

It is hoped the donors of the prizes for oats will repeat their offer, also, for this year's crop.

For the 1936 accounts, Sir Thomas Shipstone contributed £100, and since then another donor has given 100 guineas, which the Council have decided to apply to the invested fund.78

Nottm Hotel changes hands


- Price not disclosed

One of Nottingham's leading hotels - The County in Theatre Square - has changed hands for the second time in just over five years. The owner, Mr. Frank Percy Johnson, hotel and brewer valuer, has sold the property to J. Shipstone and Sons, and they took over today.

Mr. Johnson's father had one great ambition in life to be the owner of the County Hotel. That did not happen, but during the war when the property came on the market, a member of the family bought it.

Since then many improvements have been made both internally and externally. The price has not been disclosed.

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.

Golden Key Unlocked the Welcome Inn

Opening of resort's newest amenity

Mr. James L. Shipstone, Chairman of the Nottingham Brewing firm of James Shipstone and Sons Ltd., formally opened the firm's new Welcome Inn at Burgh Road Skegness yesterday (Tuesday) morning, before a large assembly and in glorious sunshine.

He had some nice things to say about Skegness in the course of doing so. Skegness had the best air in the world, he said, and he intimated that the combination of that and Shipstone's beer would be a good thing.

He wished them to know that they were all welcome in "The Welcome". It was their second and probably last, foothold in Skegness, their earlier house being The Shades, in Lumley Road, for which he had always had a particular affection, and hoped that the Welcome would be a worthy younger brother to that establishment.

He thought that all would be pleased with it, and he hoped that everyone who used it would gain great pleasure and happiness from it.

Welcome and farewell

He felt it would be much appreciated by the many Nottingham people who came to Skegness. The Inn was just about a mile from the Clock Tower, and he could imagine what any Nottingham father would say, after having had the children on the beach all the morning, when the appropriate time arrived. (Laughter).

They hoped that for many it would provide a welcome to Skegness, and a farewell to Skegness too. (Applause).

He wished to pay tribute to all who had been concerned with its erection and equipment. "It is Skegness people who have built it" he said "and we think that if you are going to erect an inn in a resort, you should let the people build it who are going to drink in it, and vice-versa." (Applause).

They also had the most wonderful co-operation from all the authorities with whom they had to deal, he said.


First for 22 years


Coun. L. N. Walthall, J.P., Chairman of the Skegness U.D.C. said that the Welcome Inn was a welcome addition to the many hotels in the resort and the first which had been built there for some 22 years, and Skegness had between 14 and 18 hotels all told.

Skegness was known as Nottingham-by-the-Sea, so many Nottingham people came here during the year, and it was appropriate that a Nottingham firm should provide that new amenity. Skegness considered the new venture a first-class effort, and wished it every success.

Mr. Shipstone then unlocked the door of the main entrance with a golden key, and an official party followed for the invited guests, whilst at the same time large numbers of local people took the opportunity of having a first drink in the Welcome Inn.

Beer soon to cost 2d. pint more

Prices of some beers are likely to go up within a week or so by as much as a penny a bottle or twopence a pint.

The 12 month price standstill which was agreed by the brewers and licensees last November, was lifted yesterday.

The Minister of Agriculture, Mr. James Prior, announced his decision to release the brewers and licencees from their undertaking after they urged that increased wages and distribution costs had changed the circumstances.

Unfair

The minister said: "At this time rigid control over beer prices is neither fair nor conductive to efficiency". Nor was it in accord with the present government's policy of free competition in an open market.

Earlier in the day, the Whitbread group gave warning that prices could not be held any longer.

The Brewer's Society said breweries rising costs in nearly all departments had swallowed up all increases granted by the prices and Incomes Board last year.

No Stampeding

Mr. James Shipstone chairman of James Shipstone and Sons, the city brewers, said last night: "We are not going to be stampeded by the other breweries. We shall make our own decisions, but these are early days to say much about it.

"We shall do our best to keep our prices down but if you get these idiot increases in everything, things will have to take their course." he added.

Mr. Norman de Johns, past president of the National Federation of Licensed Victuallers, said he did not anticipate many increases before the end of November.108

In Nottinghamshire something of a stronghold for independent breweries, results for the local companies have been healthy but unremarkable.

Profit

Mansfield Brewery's pre-tax profit for the year to March was £1.82 million against last year's £1.70 million.

James Shipstone and Sons made £1.4 million for 1974 compared with £1.37 million in 1973 and maintained their building programme, which included a start on the first new public house in the redeveloped Meadows area.

Home Brewery, like Shipstone's a favourite with the real ale supporters, was down on its pre-tax profits for the half-year to March at £938,000 compared with £1m.

Hardy and Hansons at Kimberley proved itself a lusty baby with an increase in market share for the half-year to March, and six-month profit up from £438,864 to £544,219.116

Poison Threat to City Beer

(this article is a combination of Shipstones interest - and also of Mrs. Spender, who lived behind our house in Bramcote, and was well known to the family - must admit that this was a surprise!)

After threats to distribute 10,000 cans of Coca Cola if a demand for £250,000 was not paid by the manufacturer, 24 police officers converged on a Nottingham car park where four suitcases of "money" had been left in an unlocked car as instructed by "the gang".

No one knew that the author of a series of anonymous letters to the Ilkeston Road, Nottingham, firm of Coca Cola Ltd., were written by a 17 year-old boy who sat watching the police activity from the steps of the Ice Stadium where he was a regular Saturday evening client.

Subsequent anonymous letters were received by the firm, also a can of Coca Cola containing bleach.

STRYCHNINE

But it was not until two years later, when similar demands were made of James Shipstone Ltd., brewers, of Basford, for £125,000, with a threat to lace the beer with strychnine, that the author was at last arrested, Nottingham Crown Court heard yesterday.

Stephen Slack, now 19 of Newlyn Drive, Western Boulevard, Nottingham, was jailed for three years.

He admitted making an unwarranted demand for £250,000 in a letter to Coca Cola on August 27, 1874, with menaces, and to similarly demanding £125,000 from James Shipstone and Sons Ltd. on April 28 this year.

He also admitted burgling 50 Balmoral Drive, Bramcote on March 24, 1976, armed only with an imitation pistol and intent to steal.

COURAGE

After hearing how Slack walked into the lounge where the semi-invalid Mrs. Spender was sitting alone, and pointed the pistol at her, and how Mrs. Spender grabbed the pistol from him, realising it was imitation, the judge Mr. Justice Pain commended her for her courage.

Mr. Patrick Bennett QC, prosecuting, said that in anonymous letters to the Brewery, Slack told them to hire a "chopper" and a parachute, and have it hovering over their clock tower at 11p.m. on May 15, when he would telephone instructions as to where it was to drop the money in £10 notes.

But at the appointed time, police officers were watching every telephone box in the area, and he was caught.

In a voluntary statement, Slack said that after reading of threats to poison Cadbury's Smash, he decided to have a go.

TROUBLE

The statement ended "I didn't know what to do with the money.
"I am sorry for all the trouble I have caused."

Mr. Graham Richards, defending, said Slack was "no clever desperado, but an inadequate teenager with a very fertile mind and above average intelligence, who was quite unable to distinguish fantasy from achievable fact."118

Northern Food in bid battle for Shipstone"
By Michael tate

A price tag of £12.9 million has been placed on the Nottingham-based real ale brewers, James Shipstone, by the expansion-minded Northern Foods group. But it's short measures in the eyes of the Shipstone directors, who have "strongly advised" their shareholders to take no action.

Northern Foods, who see Shipstone as a natural complement to their North Country Breweries operation in Hull, which controls about 234 pubs in Yorkshire and the North of England, say they have been talking to Shipstone chairman, Mr. Richard Pykett and his colleagues for some while, but that it has not proved possible for the two boards to reach agreement.

So Northern chairman Mr. Nicholas Horsley is appealing directly to Shipstone shareholders. His offer is 300p a share, consisting of one Northern share and 185p in cash. he claims it values the business at 15.6 times its 1976 earnings, the latest published.

He also declares that it is a 75.4 per cent off the latest recorded dealing price in Shipstone shares, which are not quoted on the stock market.

Shipstone, who own about 250 pubs in the Nottingham area are clearly far from sold on the Northern proposals, in spite of promises of marketing identities being preserved.But the directors, with less than 10 per cent of the shares between them, have some tough talking to do to convince their fellow shareholders. They promise a statement in due course.122

Talk of the City

James Shipstone & Sons, the Nottingham brewers, are fighting the takeover bid from Northern Foods with a classic defence. Predicting record profits for 1977, a big surplus from a coming property revaluation and a doubled dividend of 14p net, sanctioned by the Treasury, the board tell shareholders that the offer price of 290p "can only be seen as an attempt to snatch control from you at a ridiculously low price which is a vast discount on the underlying asset value."123

SHIPSTONE: Round 2

Shipstone's Brewery have hit back at the takeover bid by Northern Foods.

By Peter Skinner

The comment" It is wholly inadequate and we cannot take it seriously."

A copy of their rejection advice to shareholders reached Northern foods yesterday.
An advisor to Northern Foods tells me: "There is nothing in this Shipstone's document that makes me believe that the offer is not a generous one."

VAST INCREASES IN THE ASSET VALUE

He thinks it is very noticeable that the document does not comment on what would happen to the price at which a Shipstone's share would be bought or sold in the event of NF's offer not going through.

"They talk about vast increases in asset value," he adds "They also talk about record profits."

INFORMATION IS WANTED BY NORTHERN FOODS

And he declares: "It is a little difficult to know what to shoot at if you are not told very much."

The spokesman explains that in NF's talks with Shipstone's they were told that the brewery's profits for 1977 were unlikely to differ from those of 1976, and they based their offer on this information.

"We are interested to have a little more information about this," the says.

(in a separate panel within the article:)

James Shipstone opened his Basford brewery in 1852.
He hitched his wagon to a star - the familiar red trade mark.
Now, 126 years later, the brewery is valued, lock stock and barrel, at just under £13m. by the Northern foods Offer.124

Now, Mr Nicholas Horsley the4 chairman of Northern foods, has written to the Shipstone shareholders pointing out that no figures have yet been published by Shipstone for the year that ended last December. He promises to send them a forecast of Northern Food's profits to demonstrate how generous his offer is.125

Bitter opposition to a £13 million takeover bid by a huge foods group has saved the day for ythe independent Nottingham-based brewer, James Shipstone.

Holders of only 4 per sent of the Shipstone shares indicated their willingnmess to accept the terms offered by Northern Foods.

Shipstone is an unquoted company, so there is no Stock Exchange value for its shares. Before the bid they were changing hands at just below 200p, compared with the original Northern bid of 298.4p a share.

This was later improved by allowing holders to retain the final dividend of 11.335p a share.

But with the Shipstone directors maintaining their opposition, even the improved terms failed to win support, and the bid has been allowed to lapse.126

Food Firm bid £23m for Pork Farms

Northern Foods, who count dairy products, baking and brewing among their major interests can add pork pies and meat products to the list following a £23 million bid for City favourite Pork Farms.

...


After the ignominious failure of Northern's £13 million bid for James Shipstone last month, chairman Mr. Nicholas Horsley is taking no chances with this one and has already secured the acceptance of Pork Farms chairman Mr. David Samworth and his family who control more than 32% of the equity.127

Shipstone Accept £20 million 'real ale' offer
by Michael Tate

Real ale enthusiasts will be drinking a toast tonight: their protagonists, Greenall Whitley - who claim to sell more draft beer from the wood than any other brewers in the world - have agreed a takeover bid worth nearly £230 million with James Shipstone, the Nottingham brewery who recently fought off an approach from Northern Foods.

It was the offer that Shipstone were looking for. Though they bitterly contested the £12.5 million Northern Foods bid, which was unveiled in February, they made it clear that they would be prepared to sell if the price was right. A 50 per cent improvement in terms has been enough to persuade the board to sell.

In fact, they control only 2.3 per cent of Shipstone's unlisted shares, but it is a fair assumption that other shareholders will follow the board-room recommendation.

Their loyalty to the cause is being rewarded not only with a price of 435p a share - a total of £19.8 million for the group - but with the knowledge that their favourite Shippos beer could not be in better hands.

The terms offer eight Greenall shares, plus £13.30 in cash for every five Shipstone shares, but, no doubt, as much pleasure will be taken from Greenall's promise "to develop Shipstone's products in new markets".

And who could let pass unheeded a rallying call which undertakes "to compete more effectively with the national brewery companies"?

Shipstone's 275 public houses and off-licences, spread around the East Midlands, will thus join the wider-spread, 1550-string chain of Greenall houses and off-licences, based on Warrington and stretching from the West Midlands to the Scottish Border.

There will be no overlap in trading areas, and the companies confidently insist that there will be no redundancies. The possibility of some jobs being lost was one of the factors behind Shipstone's rejection of Northern Foods.

If anything, Greenall's capacity to market Shipstone's beer more widely could lead to more employment, they say. Certainly they expect to see an increase in sales.

Meanwhile, Greenall have not been doping too badly on their own. Figures published yesterday showed a 22 per cent increase in turnover to £61.8 million in the last six months ended last March, from which pre-tax profits of £4.97 million have been earned, against £4.24 million last time.

They recon to have increased their market share over the period, and that will be seen as a justification for continuing to brew real ale by those who take their beer seriously.128

Brewers warned to cut beer glut

The 30-odd small independent brewery companies still operating in the UK could be whittled down to a bare handful over the next five to seven years unless a fresh outlook is adopted by them to stave off takeovers and general decline.

In an update of last year's major study on the brewing sector, the stockbrokers, Buckmaster & Moore, argue that the industry, which earlier this year saw the acquisition of James Shipstone by Greenall Whitley and Darley by Vaux, is now facing further structural change to meet the challenge of the 1908s.

Like the small companies, the industry majors like Allied Breweries, bass Charrington, Grand metropolitan Guinness, Scottish & Newcastle, and Whitbread have got to do some deep thinking if profitability is going to improve.

The stockbrokers identify a number of crucial areas where change is thought necessary. The industry's capacity, estimated to be running at 60 million barrels a year and rising top 70 million, is about 50 per cent above current demand requirements and should be cut. And rationalisation of Britain's 60,000 off-licences and public houses would release important resources.

Buckmaster also say that the industry should examine the present "suicide" course of selling products to certain types of outlets at low prices.132

Apparently, in the distant past, local artists would paint a public house sign often for the price of a pint or two.

The rewards are rather higher in the Paint-a-Pub-Sign competition being organised by Shipstones. The brewery is offering a £300 first prize for the best entry and more than £6,000 in prize money altogether.

Would-be entrants are being offered a choice of 75 public houses to choose from through the Shipstones trading area ... and the winning signs will be exhibited at the Castle Museum in Nottingham in July next year.135

Talk of the City -

Big Six to be Big Seven?

Are we about to have a new national brewer?
There's an intriguing story doing the rounds that two of the biggest independents outside of the Big Six are thinking of merging. Lancashire-based Greenall Whitley is said to have made overtures to Wolverhaption and Dudley breweries, a rumour reflected in the latter's share prices, which at 210p has been hitting new heights recently.

...

Greenall's, although stronger in Lancashire, does overlap the West Midlands through its Shrewbury and Wem Brewery offshoot, and it extended into the East Midlands via its James Shipstone brewery in Nottingham.

How Greenall hedged their bets on beer

To-day Greenall acquired Arrowsmiths. Echo Business Editor Keith Ely looks at how the brewery has diversified.

The acquisition of Arrowsmiths puts a smile back into Greenall Whitley land just a week after the Warrington company's chief Christopher Hatton warned of a slump in beer sales. But he told shareholders at the annual meeting "We are looking into a number of areas for diversification ... since we strongly believe there is a case for hedging our bets in this way to cope with changing consumer habits."

Like most of the big brewers, Greenall Whitley has been hit by the effects of recession and budget increases on its beer sales, but unlike some, it has been spending a lot of money on buying businesses outside its traditional areas of activity.

On top of those famous Vladivar vodka, Grunhalle lager and other beers, wines and spirits - the company has begun to build an empire which now includes the holiday tour interests, a chain of bingo halls and a golf complex.

Its profits have hit record levels in every one of the past 10 years, though Mr. Hatton warned shareholders last week that with current problems, it would be difficult to maintain this trend in the current year.

Last year, the firm earned pre-tax profits of £21,000,000 on sales of nearly £195,000,000. It has steadily increased its workforce throughout the country and now employs close on 4,000 people.

Its subsidiaries include Gilbert and John Greenall, Cambrian Soft Drinks, James Shipstone, Wrekin Brewery, Magee Marshall, Groves & Whitnall, G.W. Hotels, and the Stanneylands Group.

In October last year, it paid an undisclosed sum for the Belfry Hotel and golf complex at Wishaw, Sutton Coldfield and has since announced plans for further major investment there. Earlier, under joint ownership with travel company Ellerman, Greenall Whitley has been the moving force in the development of the two course complex.

Realising the full potential of the development, it brought Ellerman out and then less than one month later, through Stanneylands, it bought six bingo halls from the troubled playboy Club.

The price again was undisclosed, but is believed to have been rather less than £1,000,000.

Greenalls had acquired Stanneylands in 1977. At that time, the firm comprised three bingo halls and a cinema in Manchester. The takeovers from Playboy have put together a moderately sized bingo operation which Greenall is likely to extend again when the opportunity arises.

The move underline the emphasis the Cheshire and Merseyside group is placing on seeking other profit sources whilst brewing industry is in the doldrums.

Even within its pubs, it is stepping up its catering facilities as customers tastes move from beer to food.

However, despite these changes and today's acquisition, the company will be anxious to stress that brewing and distilling remains far and away its prime business, and will do so for some long time to come.138

Motion text
That this House supports the campaign to keep open the Shipstones Brewery, Nottingham, now owned by Greenall Whitley; and calls for the Secretary of State for Trade and Industry to launch an immediate inquiry into the circumstances surrounding the proposed closure, including:
(a) the transfer of beer production to Allied Breweries thus circumventing the market share regulations,
(b) the insistence on selling the brewery without its outlets, defying the spirit of the recent Monopolies and Mergers Commission report,
(c) the discounting of its beer prices by Allied Breweries to undercut the viability of Shipstones,
(d) the loss of 200 much-needed jobs and
(e) the threat to choice, diversity and a valued local tradition in Nottinghamshire and the East Midlands.

Ref: 9d 28, age 48.16 
(Deceased) Death*10 May 1894 Ann Smith died on 10 May 1894 at Alne Terrace, York, YKS, Informant: William Cook, Lawrence Street.
Wife of J Morton, joiner. Age 48 at death.
Cause of death: Dropsy

Her husband died 2 months before - 15th March 1894 - so she probably had to move house afterwards (expect rent was hard to find), hence Alne Terrace address?

Who was the informant, William Cook?
1891 census has William Cook, glassblower, at 1 St Lawrence Street. Her husband's son was also a glassblower (died in 1893), so maybe how they knew each other.

No other family around in 1894 when she died, other than her children - Walter, Herbert, Frank & Rita. Oldest was 14.16,17 
(Interred) Burial*12 May 1894 She was buried on 12 May 1894 at Grave no. 2102A, York Cemetery, York, YKS,
Private grave. Apparently under the current pathway(!).
No record can be found of who paid for it. Why wasn't she buried with her husband (he had a private grave dug which his boy from first marriage was buried, along with himself)?
If this really is the case, probably because they both died very close together, and there were no remaining adults to sort it out ...

Not because his first wife was buried with him (she was buried in Fulford churchyard).

However, this could also be a mis-transcription of the original(s). I will ask the nice people at York Cemetery to have a closer look. I had a look in the records in the library to confirm this:

No. 53,439 2102a, Died 10 May buried 12th May 1894, Ann Morton, age 48, wife of J. Morton, joiner female, of Alne Terrace, cause: dropsy Informant: William Cook, Lawrence Street.17,20 
Resch Note*between September 1893 and May 1895 Research Note:
James & Ann's oldest child Lilly is living with her grandparents in 1881 and remains there in 1891, marrying in Worksop, NTT in Dec 1894.

James & Ann's last child Rita is born in 1890.


Alice Ann Morton, eldest of James' daughters marries in March 1893.

Then a very unfortunate time for the family.

Firstly Rose Rebecca - 6 months after witnessing Ann's marriage - dies in September 1893, and is buried in a public grave.

Then William Henry dies of pthyisis in December.
Father James Morton purchases a private plot to bury William Henry in.

Perhaps he realised his own time is nigh, as he himself died of tuberculosis 3 months later in March 1894, and is buried in the same grave.

Ann his widow has to move to Alma Terrace (presumably with lower rent, and possibly trying to get away from TB!) and hold the remaining family together with no obvious breadwinner.

Only a matter of weeks later, Ann herself died - May 1894 - age 48, leaving a young family behind in York.

It is not certain that she is buried in the same grave as her husband - perhaps the children didn't know what had been purchased (having lost eldest brother, sister and both parents within 8 months.

Fortunately, Alice Ann (now Woodward) appears to be in York to help out, and has children in York before settling in Bridlington with her husband.

The children remaining at home in 1894 would be:
Walter age 16
Herbert age 14
Frank age 13
Rita age 3

In the next census - 7 years later - it appears that Rita, Walter and Frank are living in the household of Mr. Gibson, Rita described as "adopted daughter".
Mr. Gibson seems to have played a good samaritan role of looking after this Morton family.

Herbert is found in Croft, YKS in 1901 (near Leeds).

Grave Nottingham Allegations

Ex-Inspector Loses An Eye

At the Nottingham Shire Hall to-day, Arthur Smith, of Sherwood, did not appear in answer to a summons alleging an assault on his father-in-law, James Harrop, formerly a Notts. police inspector, and brother of the late Deputy Chief Constable Harrop.

Mr. F. Clayton, who prosecuted, said that on February 26th, defendant went to Mr. Harrop's house. It was obvious that he had come to quarrel, and Mr. Harrop, being apprehensive, took him away by the arm and tried to get him to go away, whereupon defendant struck him a violent blow to the eye.

It happened that he was wearing a diamond ring, and this inflicted such a severe injury that the eye had to be removed, and Mr Harrop was in the infirmary for a month.

Defendant had sent a note asking for the case to be postponed a fortnight as he was suffering from neurasthenia, but as no certificate was forthcoming, the bench issued a warrant for his apprehension. The police were requested, however, not to execute it if the illness proved to be real.2

"Like a Big Dog"

Alleged Assault on Nottm. Ex-Police Officer

Loss Of An Eye

A serious case of assault by a Carlton man upon his Father-in-Law, an ex-police inspector, which is said to have resulted in the loss of an eye to the elder man, came before the magistrates at the Nottingham Shire Hall to-day.

The defendant was Arthur Smith, a motorman, of Melrose-Road, Sherwood, and he pleaded not guilty to assaulting James Harrop of the Hollies, Carlton.

Mr. F. Clayton, who prosecuted, said that the assault took place as long ago as February 26th, and on that day at about 2:30 in the afternoon. Harrop was in the garden of his house, when the defendant came there in a quarrelsome attitude. Realising this, Harrop tried to persuade his son-in-law to go away and got hold of his arm. Without any provocation or warning, the defendant broke away and struck Harrop a violent blow to the left eye.

Defendant apparently was wearing a ring with a protruding setting, and the result was that the eyeball was cut, and had to be removed. Harrop was in the infirmary for nearly a month, and when he came out, took out a summons gainst defendant, returnable at the court on Saturday. Defendant did not appear, and after hearing a letter of explanation, the magistrate issued a warrant for Smith's arrest.

Victim of Neurasthenia

Harrop, giving evidence, said Smith came towards him in a very aggressive attitude, and kept walking round him like a big dog. He said to him "It's no use coming here to fall out Arthur. If you had only come to quarrel, you had better go." As soon as he took hold of son-in-law's elbow, he was struck a violent blow to the eye.

In reply to the defendant , witness denied that he struck a blow first.

John Robert Rhodes, aged 13, said he was in the garden at the time, gave corroborative evidence.

Defendant, on oath, said he suffered from neurasthenia. On that day, he was sent down to the house by his wife. He entered the house in the best of spirits, it being his birthday, and kissed the old lady and the youngest daughter. As he was going through the kitchen door, his father-in-law passed out through the front door.

He went out into the garden and when he had walked about four yards past his father-in-law, he said "Well, Arthur" and he replied "Well father, why didn't you speak to me last Saturday?" Harrop replied "I didn't want to speak to you then" and he replied, somewhat abruptly he admitted "Very well, I don't want to speak to you".

His father-in-law told him to get out of gate. In a joking sort of way he said "you couldn't put me out". His father-in-law then came to him in a threatening attitude and aimed a blow at him. He warded it off with one arm and struck back in self defence with his right fist. He never wore a ring on his right hand. he regretted his father-in-law's loss of an eye.

Smith then asked the magistrate to adjourn the case to enable him to call witnesses.

The bench agreed, and adjourned the case until Saturday, bail being allowed.3

Ex-Inspector's Lost Eye

Son-in-Law fined for violent assault

The hearing was resumed today at Nottingham Shire Hall today of the charge of assault brought by James Harrop, of The Hollies, Carlton, against his son-in-law Arthur Leonard Smith, motorman, of Sherwood.

It had been previously stated by the complainant who is an ex-inspector of the county constabulary that defendant struck him a violent blow on the left eye which necessitated its removal, and to-day Smith brought a cross-summons against Harrop.
Smith made a statement to the effect that Harrop struck him first, and he merely struck-out in self defence. No one was more sorry than he that the sight of the eye had been lost.
Cross-examined by Mr. F. Clayton, who represented Harrop, Smith said he struck Harrop with his right fist, and that the ring he wore was on his left hand. "you always strike with the right and guard with the left" added Smith.
Mr. Clayton: You seem to know all about it. I don't know much about the noble art myself".
Smith suggested that the damage to Harrop's eye was due to his knuckle.
The Bench dismissed the summons against Harrop, and fined Smith 50s.4
