In the 50s the head gamekeeper for the Shipley estate lived in the house near the boathouse. All the those of my ilk knew him as Biddy Sisson. It used to be said that the gamekeepers rode in the vehicle used to deliver the wages to the Shipley pits, it must have been a tidy sum in cash for those days that was delivered each week.
