Shipstone's Mineral Waters, New Basford, Nottinghamshire

New Basford was an industrial town with large factories making lace and lace making machinery. This industry moved out of Nottinghamshire in the 1850s. New industries moved in such as Shipstones brewery which also bottled mineral water. James Shipstone & Sons opened in 1852 and finally closed in 1991. The company produced the Shipstones brand of beer, known locally as Shippos. Note the school and the tram making its way along the main road.
