Dolly Peel


Dorothy Peel (1782–1857), known as Dolly, was a famous character in Victorian South Shields, England, who acquired local legendary status. She is commemorated by a statue in the centre of the town.
==Life==
Peel was a fishwife, but was also known as a smuggler and as a protector of local sailors from the press gang.〔Paul Usherwood et al, ''Public sculpture of North-East England'', Liverpool University Press, 2000, p.175.〕〔Roy A. Adkins, Lesley Adkins, ''The war for all the oceans: from Nelson at the Nile to Napoleon at Waterloo'', Viking, 2007, p.175〕 During the Napoleonic Wars her husband Cuthbert Peel and son were press-ganged to serve in the Royal Navy, Dolly sneaked on board the ship and hid. After being discovered, she was given work as a nurse to sick and wounded sailors. Her work and dedication was respected, and she was allowed to stay on board with her family. She was rewarded by a pardon for her initial attempts to interfere with naval practice. Her husband and son were released from the navy and were exempted from future press-ganging. The incident made her into a local heroine.
Back in South Shields, she worked as a hawker of allegedly contraband goods and became well known for her wit and colourful stories. She also published poetry, most notably verses praising the local liberal MP Robert Ingham, of whom she was a strong supporter, during the 1841 general election.
