Extract of a paragraph regarding Mr. Gutteridge Ship-builder at Selby:-
... another, a large brig for the Messrs. Standering and Co., the extensive ship owners of Selby ; and the other, a fine schooner for Wm. Dunhill, Esq., of Barlby Bank, near Selby. The building of ships is productive of great good in the town of Selby, employing as it does so great a number of men and boys a great wages.
