Shipley Dumbles Revealed
replied on: 5/30/2005 2:48:03 PM

Suzard. The following information seems to throw a clearer light on the past Shipley Dumbles.

The Shipley Dumbles was in fact, not an area, but a cottage. It was situated between Algrave Hall Farm and the Midland railway tracks a quarter of a mile or so above Shipley Gate Station, in the Marlpool direction.
The cottage itself was almost across from Purdy House Farm, but slightly further to the East.
On the 1896 map, the cottage is listed as 'The Dumbles Cottage'. On the 1891 Census, it's simply called 'The Dumbles'.

The occupiers were -
Jackson. Richard, Head, aged 57, cord wainer and coal miner. Bn. - Wirksworth, Derbys.
Jackson. Emma, Wife, aged 60. Bn. - Camberwell, London.
Jackson. Annie, Daughter, aged 31. Bn. - Wirksworth, Derbys.
Jackson. Emily, Daughter, aged 25, general domestic servant. Bn. - Wirksworth, Derbys.
Jackson. John L., Son, aged 20, coal miner. Bn. - Wirksworth, Derbys.
Jackson. Linda, Daughter, aged 14, general domestic servant. Bn. - Wirksworth, Derbys.
Jackson. George N/W? Son, scholar, aged 8. Bn. - Wirksworth, Derbys.
Daykin. Leonard, Grandson, aged 11 months. Bn. - Ilkeston, Derbys.
