Description:A family group and motor car pictured outside the Manor House at Ipstones. The Manor House has been known as Manor Farm since the Second World War and was built around 1880 for farmer Joseph Slack and his family who remained there until 1912. It was situated off Park Lane, on the opposite side of Onecote Road to the site of the medieval Ipstones Manor House of which nothing now remains.
Pictured here are believed to be Mr E.H. Perry and family who lived at Manor House between 1918 and 1930. Edward Hall Perry moved here when he retired as manager of the United Counties Bank (later Barclays Bank) in Derby. The family left at the time of his death, 14 November 1930, aged 70.
