Description85 Chermside Road, on left, was built in the early 1890s. These homes are opposite Ipswich Girls' Grammar School. Robert and Susannah Simpson owned the house from 1916 to about 1953 and lived there with their children. The house was called Carlisle after Robert Simpson`s place of birth, Carlisle, Cumberland England. Born in 1861 he worked for the North Western Railway in England as a fitter and in the Burrow-in -Furness Ship Building Co. as a journeyman. After that he worked for a locomotive works in Glasgow and then returned to marine work at Burrow-in-Furness. He immigrated to Australia on the SS "Nuddea" in 1883 and landed in Brisbane. He went to Blackstone where he worked for eight months for Lewis Thomas in the West Moreton Colleries. He then entered the railway as a fitter and was later appointed foreman erector and a government inspector of locomotives. He married Susannah Stewart in 1888 and they had 13 children. Five of his sons, Herbert, Walter, Claude, Frank, and Reginald, worked for the railway.
