# William Hall (poet)

William Hall (1748–1825) was an English poet and antiquary.

## Life

William Hall was born on 1 June 1748 at Willow Booth, a small island in the fen district of Lincolnshire. His parents were very poor, and he himself at a very early age married a girl named Suke or Sukey Holmes, and became a gozzard, or keeper and breeder of geese. But the floods swept away his flock, which (he complains) were appropriated by his neighbours, and after much wandering he settled in Marshland in Norfolk, where he gained for some time a living as an auctioneer and "cow-leech", while his wife practised midwifery and phlebotomy. Here he asserts (in verse) that his arm broke on account of rheumatic throbbing, whereupon he removed to Lynn, and commenced business as a dealer in old books. "The Antiquarian Library", as he called his shop, did fairly well, though he was obliged to sell, as opportunity offered, many other things besides books. He died in 1825.

## Works

Hall published a considerable number of strange rough rhymes, dealing with the fens, fen life, and the difficulties of his calling. "Low-Fen-Bill", as he sometimes styled himself, had a perception of his own faults, which he describes when mentioning John Taylor the "Water Poet",
   Who near two centuries ago Wrote much such nonsense as I do.
But, according to the Dictionary of National Biography, his doggerel is not without a certain Hudibrastic force, and it frequently contains graphic touches descriptive of modes of fen life now passed away. He published at Lynn:
* A Sketch of Local History, being a Chain of Incidents relating to the state of the Fens from the Earliest Accounts to the Present Time, 1812.
* Reflections upon Times, and Times, and Times! or a more than Sixty Years' Tour of the Mind, 1816; a second part was published in 1818.

# William Lanford House

The William Lanford House (also known as the Lanford-Slaughter-Camper House) is a historic residence in Huntsville, Alabama. The house was built by William Lanford, a native of Spotsylvania County, Virginia. Lanford's father, Robert, was an early land speculator who came to Huntsville from Nashville along with LeRoy Pope. William purchased 1,975 acres (800 ha) in 1843 and built his house in 1850. Lanford's daughter, Mary, married physician John R. Slaughter in 1853, who later moved his practice to the house in William Lanford's later life. Upon his death in 1881, the land was divided among Lanford's daughters, with Mary and Dr. Slaughter remaining in the house. After Mary's death in 1913, the house was sold to William Olin Camper in 1919. Camper and his brother Robert were merchants in Madison and Huntsville, and owned the Twickenham Hotel in Huntsville.
The house is situated on 52 acres (21 ha) between Indian Creek and Cummings Research Park, in extreme western Huntsville near the town of Madison. It exhibits well-proportioned Greek Revival form, with a double-height tetrastyle portico and gently sloped gable roof. The portico base is of brick, with four boxed, tapered columns with Doric capitals. A balcony sits above the front entrance, which is surrounded by pilasters and an entablature, and topped with a Federal-style sunburst fanlight. Windows outside of the portico are six-over-six sashes with Palladianesque narrow sidelights. The interior has a central hall flanked by two rooms on each side. The walls of the front two rooms are built of multiple panels which can be folded up to create a large space for entertaining. A two-room addition off the northwest of the house, constructed in the mid-20th century, contains a den, bedroom, and bathroom, while an enclosed veranda sits off the eastern half of the rear. On the second floor, there are four bedrooms, and a deck over the veranda.
The house was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1994.

# William McIlroy (department store)

William McIlroy was a group of department stores started in Swindon in 1875 and finally closed in 1998.

## History

William McIlroy was an Irish draper who moved to England, where he opened his first store on Regent Street, Swindon in 1875. The store was purpose built as a department store with a grand clock and plate glass frontage.
The business grew, with William's brother-in-law James Wheeler and son Ewart joining the business, and 22 branches were opened up across England and Wales amongst them Bristol, East Grinstead, Kirkby in Ashfield, Minehead, Stroud, Portsmouth and most famously Oxford Road in Reading. The Oxford Road store was opened in 1903, and was known as the Crystal Palace of Reading because of its 2000 feet of plate glass windows, and employed over 1000 people.
The McIlroy family had strong connections with Reading, with William McIlroy being the mayor as well as donating land to form McIlroy Park.
During the First World War, McIlroys were given an order by the War Office for 45,000 beds. During the 1930s the grand ball room was added to the Swindon store, with the chandeliers and panelling coming from the cruise liner Mauretania. Stars who performed there included Diana Dors and The Beatles (1962).
In the 1950s the business started to struggle and changed hands. Stores were closed, including the Reading store in 1955.
The Swindon store however continued to operate. The famous clock tower was removed in the 1960s for safety reasons and replaced with a smaller, less ornate clock front. In 1975 a grand sale took place to celebrate 100 years. The Caernarfon store was destroyed by a fire in 1992 and was not rebuilt. The business owned by textile giant Courtaulds was sold to Mackays Stores in the early 1990s.
However, on 13 January 1998, the store was closed by its owners Mackays, citing that it could not compete with rivals Debenhams, House of Fraser and the Designer Outlet Centre. This confused many as in 1997 a report claimed McIlroys to be the UK's eighth most profitable department store. The store was demolished and rebuilt as a branch of H&M and is now home to the fashion chain Flannels.
# William Shadforth

William Shadforth, often known as Willie Shadforth (2 March 1912 – 7 December 2000) was a Garrwa man who became one of the first Aboriginal people to own a cattle station in 1953 when he purchased Seven Emus Station in the Northern Territory of Australia.

## Biography

Shadforth was born on Wollogerang Station and he worked there until he was fired following an incident where he hit someone over the head; he would later say this was the best thing to ever happen to him. After losing his job he went to Charters Towers and stayed there for 6 years. He then became a drover and horse trader who brought mobs of cattle and horses between Queensland, South Australia, Western Australia and the Northern Territory.
When passing through Alice Springs in 1953, while droving horses between Elsey and Mount Dare Stations, he won money on a bet on the horse My Hero for the Caulfield Cup and soon after doubled his money betting on Wodalla to win the Melbourne Cup - the odds were 14 to 1. He was known to be a fine judge of horses and this contributed to him making these winnings.
Shadforth then used his profits of £10,000 to purchase Seven Emus Station, nearby to Borroloola, from his friend George Butcher.
Shadforth's son, Frank Shadforth, who later took over the ownership and management of the station, said of his father:
   Dad never went to school but he knew English and Garawa. He knew the ceremonies and law, and how things worked. He ran his business in a European way, but mixed with both cultures. How he held on to his traditions I don’t know.
After purchasing the station Shadforth worked there alongside his family and had 10 children; Frank, who inherited the property, is his 7th son. He continued to drove cattle and would also take work shooting horses for hair to make saddles on, nearby Brunette Downs Station and as take work as a cook around Katherine and Darwin.
In his later years he lived at Borroloola, and he died at the Katherine Hospital on 7 December 2000. He is buried in the Borroloola Cemetery.
The station remains Indigenous-owned and run by members of the Shadforth family.
