Ship Inn, Eston, Yorks
« on: Sunday 09 January 05 18:52 UTC (UK) »
Hi Everyone,

Have recently discovered that several generations of my family (surname of Allison) ran the Ship Inn, Eston, Yorkshire during the 19th century.

I live near Birmingham and so far have not had the time to visit the area or the pub. 

Does anyone know anything about the Ship Inn and its history?  Anyone got any photographs old or recent or know where I can find out more information?

Thanks,

Binky

There is an old picture of the Ship Inn, I'll see if I can scan a copy for you. I can take a picture of what it is like now ( I pass it most days !! and drink in Eston most Fridays !! )
I have a book on the history of Eston, I'll see if there's anything in there also my wifes family come from and still live in Eston so I'll ask them also. drop your email in a message to me and I'll get back to you.

here are the pics of the Ship Inn Eston. old and new.
Do you have an intrest in Eston ?
It was a sad day in the churchyard . a large tree came down and has destroyed a lot of the old headstones. fortunately I have already recorded them in digital pictures.

Thanks for those brilliant photos Mike.  I don't have a specific interest in Eston - I just love old photos generally!  Cheesy

Best wishes

Blimey, there's a blast from the past.

I have no connection with the Ship in Eston apart from some serious under age drinking in my misspent youth. But there were Allisons, butchers, in the 50s,  in Lazenby which is all of two miles down the road. Could they have been yours?

Hi Mike,
I too have been waiting for those photos. I can imagine that my great grandfather used the the Ship Inn when he lived at Eston in the early 1860's and before he moved down the road to South Bank. Well done and thank you.
His first two children were buried there, I wonder did your timely photography capture their gravestones although he probably could not afford such a luxury.

Thomas Michael Pearce buried 6 Aug 1865
Martha Ann Pearce        buried 17 Aug 1865

I would be most interested  in seeing them if by chance they had headstones.

Regards, jackh

Hi Jack,

There were no Pearce stones, none on th MI either but the MI just covers the ground that was St Helen's churchyard. The cemetery at Eston was extended several times ( still being extended )

I often walk through the cemetery so I'll keep the name in mind. What was your GGrandfather's job in Eston ? I presume He moved to South Bank to work at Clay lane or Bessemer works ?
There's some info on Eston on my website at www.marton.demon.co.uk ( plus a bit of other local history )

Hi Mike,
Thanks for looking. I recognised your website as soon as the link opened, it must be three years since I looked at it and that was a good reminder to look at it again, thanks.
My great grandfather Thomas Pearce was a Charger blast furnace/furnace keeper. He lived at  10 Eston Junction in 1871 where his first children were born then had some children at South Bank. He must have returned briefly to Eston and lived at 25 Miles St before going to live in Middlesbrough by 1884.
Just discovered today that he was in No.3 Row No.80H, Eston. in 1861 before he married. Would that give an indication as to where he worked?
With sincere thanks, jackh

Hi Jack,

No.3 row house 80 was at Eston Junction ( became Branch End ) which was right next to the Iron works of Bolckow and Vaughan.
The charger would be the man who fed the top of the furrnace with the Ironstone, coke, and flux material. The Ironstone ( not iron ore ) was mined from the biggest Ironstone Mine at Eston, actually in the eston Hills.
Here is a picture of Branch End ( houses in the middle background ) and the Blast Furnaces of Clay Lane, these where replaced by three bigger furnaces later on and now the site is occupied by a big open space !!
Also a picture of the demolition of these.


hope these come out ok, had a bit of trouble trying to send as one was still a bmp file, doh..
