I had one of these in the garden of my last house. Very nice cookers and a big crop. I hope to grow one myself from cuttings or seed.

Regarding the Dumelow's Seedling, I adopted a tree of the variety three years ago. The allotment society I am a member of has a heritage orchard consisting of Leicestershire varieties: apples and plums. Dumelow's Seedling cooks to a firm pulp and fruit has a long shelf life. I like it.
