Cottage Croix, Brassington |
The Millers contacted the Author when they were buying Cottage Croix in 2013, to see if he could discover any history. Working on the phrase: "the current owner believes the cottage was originally 2 shops serving the community in the 18th century" he located Thomas BRINDLEY as the most likely shopkeeper in the S end of Town Street. Thomas BRINDLEY (only child of a Tailor) trained as a shop boy with the SLACKs (grocer and draper), became Assistant in a Grocers in Ashborne, married and became a Grocer in Brassington. Raising 9 children, he became a grocer and draper in Town Street, probably running the 2 businesses in attached cottages, with his large family above. Thomas probably ran the grocery side and Fanny the drapers side. They both saw their 80th birthdays. Fanny's father Joseph WEBSTER came from USA and was postmaster at Hognaston with his wife. Joseph sired 13 children No clue has yet been found for the unusual name of the cottage.
