James Shipton
Wealthy businessman James Shipton (19 August 1798—1 February 1865) was a successful Timber merchant and licensed carrier who served as Mayor of Wolverhampton from 1854 to 1855.
==Shipton & Co.==
Following established coal and flour milling operations alongside Brindley's newly constructed Birmingham Canal at Albion Wharf, Wolverhampton, James and Maurice Shipton opened a carrier service in 1821, followed by a timber wharf in 1827.
The Shipton family were established timber merchants with a yard in Birmingham started by Joseph Shipton. Shiptons developed a new Albion Wharf depot for the Swift Packet Boat service between Birmingham and Wolverhampton to replace their earlier site. Maurice Shipton dissolved the partnership and James continued to trade on his own. The area continued to develop as a junction between canal and the railways.〔(【引用サイトリンク】publisher=Allens Register )〕 In 1833 Shipton & Co built a warehouse at Gloucester Docks. The list of daily destinations served by Shipton's fly boats gives an idea of the scale of the operation:
Liverpool, Manchester, Preston Brook, Chester, Wrexham, North Wales, Shardlow, Gainsborough, Derby, Hull, the Staffordshire iron works, Bilston, Dudley, Worcester, Gloucester, Bristol, Tewkesbury, London, Birmingham, Stourport, and Kidderminster.
Shipton's operation as a carrier of anything, but specialising in finished iron products, grew through several acquisitions until it was taken over by the North Staffordshire Railway in 1847. However the business suffered and was sold on to the Bridgewater Trustees in 1849. James Shipton was retained as their agent.〔(【引用サイトリンク】publisher=Wolverhampton History and Heritage Website )〕
