The houses, which are excellently furnished, are occupied by pensioned servants whom age or illness has compelled to retire from the service of the Duke."

ResearchOctober 1936 Research: So - was this Joseph William Shipstone killed accidentally at Stainforth colliery?

Quite possibly.

Living in Sheffield in 1911, and he was a collier.
There are no other possible death records for him (see on).
He died before 1939, as his wife is a widow by that time.

Age is a little wrong (2 years out - but was 5 years out in 1911 census)
Location is a little wrong (but still nearby).

Thorne R.D. includes Lincolnshire and West Riding of Yorkshire, not Sheffield.14 
(Subject) Newspaper*2 October 1936  He was the subject of a newspaper article on 2 October 1936.

CORONER AND PIT PROP REGULATION

"Clear it was not enforced"

At a Stainforth inquest yesterday a miner who was killed by a roof fall at Hatfield Main Colliery on Tuesday, the question was raised whether sufficient props had been used to support the roof.

The jury returned a verdict of "Accidental death", the foreman stating: "The jury consider the deputy and chargeman have done their duty so far as they knew, and there does not appear to be any actual negligence on their part."

The coroner (Mr. W.H. Carlille) remarked "I quite agree with the verdict, but at the same time it is clear that this regulation has not actually been enforced in this case".

The inquest was on Joseph William Shipstone (57) of 29, South end, Stainforth.

"Perfectly safe"

John Walker, who was working with Shipstone in No. 12 stall said the place was perfectly safe and well timbered.
They were drawing timber, and had drawn off several props, and were making preparation to draw a steel prop when a large stone came down and trapped Shipstone, who was dead when extricated. He was satisfied the roof was well timbered, but another prop under the roof might have prevented the accident. The timber, however, was well set within the regulations.
Harry Hardy, a chargeman, said the roof was better that night than it had been for some time.

Coroner Reads Rule

The Coroner read the regulation relating to drawing off the timbering and asked if it was carried out. Witness said no in all cases. He always told the men to put in temporary supports, but he could not enforce them to do it.

The Coroner: You must see this regulation is carried out. It is no use making these provisions for safety unless they are carried out


Witness added that he would not call it negligence not having another prop Knowing Shipstone as he did. He was a very conscientious workman.

Deputys Statement

Thomas Ernest Greenough, a deputy, said the regulation was being carried out. To set additional props to those already set at this spot would have been like putting a man in a bird cage.
The Coroner said there seemed to be something amiss, but he thought it was realised now that this regulation meant what it said. The witnesses had been frank and he appreciated it.17
 
(Interred) Burial*3 October 1936 He was buried on 3 October 1936 at Grave 505, Section E, Darnall Cemetery, Sheffield, YKS,
STOPSTONE, Joseph William (Miner, age 57).
Died at 418 Coleridge Road; Buried on October 3, 1936 in Unconsecrated ground;
Grave Number 505, Section E of Darnall Cemetery, Sheffield.
Remarks: from Sheffield Parish Officiating Minister C B Groves Broadhurst.


Buried with:
1902 Shipstone Ben (labourer age 37)
1906 Shipstone, Joseph (son of Joseph Shipstone age 2 months)
1927 Shipstone, Ronald (son of Ernest, age 11 hours)
1936: Stopstone, Joseph William (miner age 57)


NOTE: "died at" is probably home address - as he was killed at Stainthorpe colliery, whilst living at 29 South End Stainforth ..12 
Researchbetween 1 October 1955 and 31 December 1955 Research: at R.D. Rowley R. Could have been a possible death
Ref: 9b, 313 as Joseph W, age 74
Age matches exactly, BUT IS NOT THIS Joseph William!

However, this one has a wife, who dies in 1939, age 60:
Shipstone Mary Constance Emily of 68 Throne Road, Rowley Regis, Staffordshire (wife of Joseph William Shipstone) died 14 November 1939. Administration Birmingham 17 February to the said Joseph William Shipstone, plumbers labourer. Effects £360

This Joseph William Shipstone marries in Birmingham in 1904 to "Constance Kears", and is found in 1911 census.
Unfortunately, he is born in "Bramall Lane, Sheffield", and is aged 29.
They have:
Alfred Henry (b1907), William Walter (b1905) & Olive (b1910) all R.D. W. Bromwich

So could be this Joseph William - if he didnt' marry and wasn't living with Elizabeth Askwith! (but he was, and he did)

This one is of "Alfred & Eliza J Shipstone" Sheffield, and is found in Birmingham in 1891. Not a family I have links to.

However, needed to look into the above to show it is right, and not this Joseph William.

Note that other researchers haven't always been as thorough...14 

Known Children of Joseph William Shipston and Elizabeth Askwith

(Groom) Marriage*between 1 July 1905 and 30 September 1905 Joseph William Shipston married Elizabeth Askwith between 1 July 1905 and 30 September 1905 at R.D. Sheffield
Ref: 9c, 918, Shipstone, Elizabeth = Shipstone, Joseph William.

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.8

Anecdote8 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."11 
Research*15 August 2010 Research: 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).12 
(Subject) Newspaper*January 2015  He and Percy 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.

Nottingham Woman Seek Divorce

Marriage That Took Place Secretly

Unsuccessful Petition.

Mrs Mabel Frances Ratcliff (nee Shipstone) of Lenton Hurst, Derby Road, Nottingham, yesterday petitioned before Lord Merrivale, in the Divorce Court, for a dissolution of her marriage with her husband, Mr. Mortimer Frederick Ratcliff, on the grounds of his adultery with Mrs. Margaret Sylvia Coates.
Mr. Ratcliff denied adultery, and Mrs. Coates intervened in the suit to contest the allegation. The petition was dismissed.

According to the petitioner's case, Mrs. Ratcliff, daughter of Sir Thomas Shipstone, was married secretly to Mr. Ratcliff at the Nottingham Register Office in February 1912, and there was another ceremony at All Souls' Church, Nottingham, in May of the same year. There were three children.

In May 1930, there was a separation, and Mrs. Ratcliff's allegation was that her husband had been associated with Mrs. Coates since 1929.

Mrs. Ratcliff gave evidence, and called as witnesses Mr. Arthur Powdrill, ex-inspector of Police, and an enquiry agent of Nottingham, Dr. Henry Vernon Taylor of Mansfield-Road Nottingham, and Walter Clark, chauffeur, of Clarence Street, Nottingham.

Mr. Ratcliff, the respondent, gave evidence. His case was that he never knew Mrs. Coates until January, 1931, and then he occasionally met her on terms of ordinary friendship.

Mrs. Coates, the wife of Herbert Coates, whom she married in October, 1926, also gave evidence denying the charge.

Substantial Fortune.

In the result, Lord Merrivale dismissed the petition and dismissed the intervenor for the suit.
In his judgement, his Lordship said the case was a painful one. Mrs. Ratcliff was possessed of a substantial fortune. Mr. Ratcliff discussed intimate matters with his wife in a way which greatly displeased her. A separation took place.
It appeared, however, that the wife knowing her husband's temperament, began to suspect him and desired to be rid of her marriage tie. She had her husband watched by Mr. Powdrill, but although he watched for six weeks he could report nothing except social intimacy.

Mrs Coates was a young woman whose father died when she was little more than a child, and she married Mr. Coates as his second wife. She was the mother of four of his children. Her husband had come to court to stand by her, and had stated that his wife has full confidence and he considered that the charges were not true.
Mrs. Coates had not been shown to be a woman who would yield to such proposals. Her husband said that he never had the slightest need to suspect his wife.
"I have come to the conclusion" proceeded Lord Merrivale, "that the visit of Mrs. Coates to Lenton Hurst in August, 1929, is an invention or a mistake. It did not take place. I am not even satisfied that Mr. Ratcliff was there that day.
His Lordship added that Mr. Ratcliff was a successful man of business, trusted by his father-in-law, Sir Thomas Shipstone. Mr. Coates's confidence had been well founded.

Lord Merrivale ordered that Mrs. Coates should have the costs of her defence as against Mrs. Ratcliff. "She has had charges made against her which might well have ruined her life, if not contested," he said. "Mr. Ratcliff has laid himself under suspicion, and the only order that I make about his costs is that he shall have paid out to him the costs he paid into court as security."

ENNISCORTHY (Ireland)

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

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

It could be that "the juvenile collectors", "Fanny, Jack and Madge" were all sibblings ... note absence of mythical Marion May Shipstone.
Presumably this was the children when visiting their grandparents with their mother.9

Birth*30 November 1852 Mary Ann Shipston, daughter of John Shipston and Hannah Fletcher, was born on 30 November 1852 at Bulwell, NTT.4,6 
 Mary Ann Shipston was the daughter of John Shipston and Hannah Fletcher
(Child) Baptism12 December 1852 Mary Ann Shipston was baptised on 12 December 1852 at Bulwell, NTT, Mary Ann, daughter of John & Hannah Shipstone, labourer. IGI states that mother is Hannah Fletcher.7,8 
(Enumerated) Cen-Househ7 April 1861 The 1861 UK Census of George St., New Basford, NTT, listed John Shipston and Hannah Fletcher with William Shipston, Mary Ann Shipston and Samuel Shipston.
Mary Ann Shipston was described as Mary Ann Shipston, daughter age 9, lace mender born Bulwell, NTT.2 
(Enumerated) Cen-Househ2 April 1871 The 1871 UK Census of Mosley Street, New Basford, NTT, listed Hannah Fletcher with William Shipston, Mary Ann Shipston and Samuel Shipston.
Mary Ann Shipston was described as Mary A Shipston, daughter unmarried age 19, lace mender, born Bulwell, NTT.3 
Researchafter 2 April 1871 Research: disappears after 1871 census, rather like her father disappears after 1861 census and brother after 1871 cenusus. No suitable death index entry (even under variants). Found in no census return (81, 91, 01).
Perhaps they emigrated?3 
Researchbetween 3 April 1871 and 1881 Research: No further sign of this Mary Shipston.

She is not the one who married James McDonald on 6 Oct 1873 -

Maria Shipston = John Giddons 17 May 1873 Basford (age 18 father was Esau Shipston)

There is a marriage of Mary Ann Shipstone 12 Feb 1874 to James Tacey (St. Barnabus R.C., Nottm). 
Research*6 October 1873 Research: at St. Nicholas, Nottingham, NTT, May have married Dec 1873 Nottingham 7b 540
Shipston, Mary Ann = MacDonald, James

Check Parish Records for parents
(Not ours - she should be daughter of Thomas & Ann of Bulwell - further evidence below shows even if I have not got the marriage).9,10 
Research1881 Research: No evidence in 1881 census of such a couple, nor Mary Ann on her own. 
Research1891 Research: at 34 Key Street, Bulwell, NTT, There is a James McDonald age 39, gas Hostler? born Tewkesbury, GLS, with Mary A McDonald age 41 in Bulwell with children Elizabeth 16, Ann 14, James 11, Thomas 8 & Sarah 5 Is this Mary Ann?11 
Researchbetween 1 July 1897 and 30 September 1897 Research: at R.D. Burton Church Broughton is in R.D. Burton.

Ref: 6b, 392 Austin, Jane

Mother's surname - Shipston!

Woah - I am good!

Hunt for Shipston = Austin
Mar 1873 7b 137 R.D. Basford - Jane Shipston = Philip Austin

So who was Jane Shipston, and how related to Mary Ann? ...

Well, 1881 shows a Jane Austin age 26 in 10 Chine St? Bulwell (wife of game keeper, gone Alma)
with children Annie age 11, John age 6, Henry W age 3
With Richard Shipston, brother age 21, elementary school teacher.

So we have:
Mary Ann Shipstone bn 1850 = James McDonald 1873
Jane Shipstone bn 1855 = Philip Austin 1873
Richard Shipston bn 1860, brother of Jane.

Mary Ann adopts a daughter of Janes' in 1901


The Mary who married James MacDonald may not have been John & Hannah's daughter ...? 
Research1901 Research: at 24 Key Street, Bulwell, NTT, James McDonald age 50, gas stoker, worker, born Tuxsbury, GLS, with Mary McDonald age 52 born Nottingham, NTT with children James 21 (brickmaker), Thomas 18 (wicker basket m.), Sarah 15 (Lace mender) & Jane A? Martin? or Austen? (transcribed as Jane Austin) adopted dau age 3 born Church Broughton, DBY. Is she a child of one of their eldest daughters?11 
Research2020 Research: So we have:
Mary Ann Shipstone bn 1850 = James McDonald 1873
Jane Shipstone bn 1855 (of Thomas & Ann Wilkinson - Bulwell family bn Jun 1854) = Philip Austin 1873
Richard Shipston bn 1860 (of Thomas & Ann Wilkinson - Bulwell family bn Mar 1860), brother of Jane.

Mary Ann adopts a daughter of Janes' (Jane Austin bn in 1898 Why would she do this if unconnected)?

Children of Thomas & Ann Wilkinson of Bulwell
Eliza 1845
Mary Ann 1848
George 1850
Jane 1854
Richard 1860
Sarah 1862
Elizabeth 1866

So the story of Mary Ann Shipston = James McDonald belongs to the Thomas = Ann Wilkinson Bulwell family, not the daughter of John & Hannah Fletcher.

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.15,10,13

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 
Research*15 August 2010 Research: 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.

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.

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

Head of Leading Brewery - Death of Mr. Ronald Shipstone

Mr. Ronald Shipstone, joint managing director of J. Shipstone and Sons Ltd., brewers, New Basford, died today at his residence, Lucknow House, Lucknow Avenue, Nottingham. He would have attained his 64th birthday this month, and had been ill about a month. The cause of death was pneumonia.
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

A very large circle of friends and acquaintances will learn with regret of the death yesterday of Mr. Ronald Arthur Shipstone at his home, 2 Lucknow Avenue, Nottingham. At the age of 63. His death followed an attack of pneumonia.

One of the most self-effacing men one could meet, Mr. Ronald Shipstone interested himself in a great many activities and enjoyed great popularity.

He was appointed commandant of the Nottingham Special Constabulary in 1939 and held the appointment throughout the present war. He was awarded the Special Constabulary long service medal in January, 1943.

He was president of the Notts. County Football Club, which will lose an ardent supporter by his death. in younger days he played for the Notts. County Reserves.

Conservatives' Loss

Another organisation that loses a keen worker in the Nottingham Conservative Association. He had been honorary treasurer of the organisation for the past 15 years, and he always made himself responsible for the financial health of the association.

In the last war he had the misfortune to lose an arm. He was a rifleman with the King's Royal Rifles and the Rifle brigade and saw service in the Middle East, particularly in Salonica.

He was a governor of the Nottingham high School, where he was educated, and was at one time president of the Old Boys' Association.

He leaves a widow. His son Bobbie, and only child, died about 12 years ago.

"Grievous Loss"

"Mr. Shipstone possessed qualities that endeared him to all who served under and with him." said the Chief Constable (Captain A. Popkess) in a tribute to his memory. "During his period of command the special constabulary carried out most important police duties in the city.

"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

In Memoriam


SHIPSTONE - Ronnie. November 17th 1944. Happy thoughts of a good friend, whose one ambition was to help lame dogs and bring sunshine. "Good Old Warrior" Ronnie, whose name will ever be blessed and remembered.76
 
(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.
Subject: James Henry Shipstone Mentioned: Marjorie Eileen Shipstone, James Leslie Shipstone and Ronald Arthur Shipstone.78

Name Variation  Samuel Shipston was also known as Shipstone. 
Research*1853 Research: 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".
QED.1

A Nottingham Wedding

Miss Sylvia Shipstone and Lieut. F. P. Adams

A pretty wedding, which attracted a good deal of interest, was celebrated at St. John's Church, Carrington to-day, when Miss Sylvia Kathleen Shipstone, youngest daughter of the late Mr. Enoch Shipstone and Mrs. Enoch Shipstone of Algoa House, Private-road, Nottingham, was married to Flight-Lieut. 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.

Research1887 Research: at Edwalton Manor, Edwalton, NTT, Edwalton Manor
This mansion house was built in the mid-18th century. George Chaworth's widow Anne lived there with their daughter Mary Ann Chaworth (later Musters) during the period of her widowhood, 1791-1794. The house was sold by John P. Chaworth-Musters soon after he came into possession of his estates in 1887 (when his father died), and was purchased by Thomas Shipstone, the brewer.

He sold it as John Patricius Musters
(1860-1921), who in 1888 obtained licence to take the surname Chaworth jointly with Musters.

In summary, where my daughter got married in Sep 2024 the owner in 1887 sold one of his smaller Halls in his possession to my 1st cousin 3x removed (Thomas Shipstone). We didn't know that when Colwick Hall was booked.

Colwick Hall
Colwick was purchased from the Byron family by Sir John Musters in the mid-17th century. The hall was completely rebuilt in the Palladian style for John Musters in 1775-1776, to designs by the architect John Carr of York (1723-1807). It was damaged by fire in October 1831 after being sacked by rioters enraged at the failure of the Second Reform Bill. It was soon restored, but after the death of Jack Musters in 1849 it was rarely used by members of the Chaworth-Musters family, who preferred Annesley or Wiverton. The contents were sold at auction in 1850 and the house let to tenants. It was sold by John P. Chaworth-Musters to the Nottingham Racehorse Company in 1896. After years of neglect, Colwick Hall was restored and re-opened as a country house hotel and conference centre in 2003.

PC note - it had become a pub for the racecourse from mid 20's to 60's, then became derelict, and was restored by the winners of a competition, who then sold it on to a hotel Chain who now own it (complete with leaking bedroom ceilings ... the joy of owning old buildings ...)29

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".61

Interesting*3 June 1922  Thomas Shipstone Knighted

Not sure whether to include this one, as it looks rather "elitist", but is factual and concerns my 1st cousin 3 times removed.

As stated previously, the brewery was started by his father, James Shipstone in 1863, born of humble stock - whose parents and himself were removed from Mansfield as they might have needed poor relief, and whose mother later fell off a pigsty when putting out the washing when pregnant and died (see above).

In the hands of James and later especially his sons (like Thomas), the brewery business (and its holding of houses) thrived in the early 20th century, and Thomas was then in the fortunate position of being able to donate funds for a fleet of Ambulances in WW1 both personally and on behalf of the brewing trade (Thomas was Chairman and Managing Director of Shipstone & Sons, Governor of Nottingham General Hospital, as well as being a City Magistrate). He also benefitted the Hospitals in Nottingham greatly during his life after his knighthood.

So essentially for benevolence afforded by his wealth (and the effort to direct the brewing trade to do the same), he was knighted in the King's birthday honours.

The benevolence of the rich was the chief way of funding "specialist" public healthcare before local government and the state stepped in.

So well done Sir Thomas!

Notes and Comments

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.74

Queen's Order from Nottingham Firm

The Queen has ordered four dresses of fine Nottingham lace for the wedding of the Duke of York and Lady Elizabeth Bowes-Lyon.
This decision has earned the gratitude of local manufacturers and lace workers, who are hard hit by the slump in Nottingham's chief industry.
The Dowager Lady Airlie, a lady-in-waiting, will also wear a lace dress at the Royal wedding. The Duchess of Portland has promised to wear lace gowns at Ascot.
All the Nottingham banks have subscribed £50 each to a special publicity fund raised by the lace employers federation, whilst 100 guineas each has been subscribed by Sir Thomas Shipstone and the Lace Finishers Association. Exhibitions to show the beauty of Nottingham lace will be held every year in London and numerous seaside and provincial centres.75

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).76

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.77

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. It was stated that Broughton slept with a coal hammer in his bedroom, obviously to terrorise his wife, and that on August 13 he belaboured her until she lost consciousness. Broughton's defence was that she struck him on the head with a poker and kicked him.

Passing sentence, Sir Thomas Shipstone said "You are one of the worse brutes that has ever stood in the dock since I have been a magistrate."84

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.92

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.94

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 £5,000.107

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.112

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.116

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.117

Sir Thomas Shipstone Dead.

Head Of Well-Known Brewery

GREAT BENEFACTOR


The death occurred yesterday, of Sir Thomas Shipstone, of Lenton Firs, Nottingham, and principal of the well-known brewery company that bears his name. On Sunday, October 13th, he attained his 89th birthday.
Sir Thomas, who had been described as "a little man with a big heart" was born on October 13th, 1851. He was the fourth son of the late Mr. James Shipstone, the founder of the brewery firm of James Shipstone and Sons Ltd., and one of the largest concerns of its kind in this part of the Midlands. He had been chairman and managing director of the company, and under his active control, and with the help given by his two nephews, Mr. J. H. and Mr. Ronald Shipstone, the business has been extensively developed.
A man of generous sympathies, he gave largely from his ample means to a number of charitable, philanthropic, and educational institutions The General Hospital had particular reason to be grateful for his beneficence. In 1925 he made a personal gift of £6,000 to the building fund, and also announced a further donation of £3,000 from his firm.
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.134

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.

£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.137

Pictures from the Shipstone Collection


Nottingham Castle Museum has acquired two pictures from the late Sir Thomas Shipstone's collection, which was dispersed last week.One a gift from Sir Thomas's daughters, and the other was purchased on behalf of the Museum Committee.
The paintings were two of the best in the collection, one being a picture of cattle by Thomas Sidney Cooper entitled "Repose in the Meadows", and the other is J. F. Herring's "Feeding the Horses".
The former is a gift of Mrs. Eric Snell and Mrs. G. J. Mackness, in memory of their father.

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.143

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.150
