The earliest mentions of "Bushy Cottage" that I can find (without checking the PRO) are from 1887 (Peak Directory, Ladies Directory). Its name appears again in 1888 & 9 (Peak Directory) and most recently in 1890 (Peak Directory & Ladies Directory).
From 1898 the new name of the building on the site, "Red Hill" (or "Redhill") starts to appear (Peak Directory, Jury List). The 1909 Peak Map shows only one building on the site, labelled Red Hill No. 1 & 2.
From the above facts it appears that Bushy Cottage was built sometime before 1887 and either renamed, or demolished and rebuilt, as Red Hill between 1890-98.
Bushy Cottage was built upon RBL 14 which was put up for public auction in 1879. Earliest mention of Bushy Cottage found so far is in the 1887 Ladies Directory. Therefore it was constructed at sometime between 1879 and 1887.
The latest mention of Bushy Cottage I have seen is in the 1894 "Index To The Streets...". In later years the site was occupied by Red Hill. The earliest mention of Red Hill I've seen so far is in the 1898 Peak Directory and Jury List. Therefore, Bushy Cottage was demolished and rebuilt as, converted into, or just renamed, Red Hill at sometime between 1894 and 1898.
