A GRUMPY OLD MAN

Hi Cardiff

This may be somewhat irrelevant but in my childhood we used to often be visited by Horace and Florence Probert, who lived in Kidderminster. Florence went to school with my Mother back in the early 1900's.

Now Horace was at one time a very good boxer and had fought Jack Hood who was famous in his day.

He was the quietest mildest man that you could wish to meet but his features told of some of the punishment that it must have received. His hands were enormous.

I do believe that he ran a Plumbing company in Kidderminster at that time.

The time of these visits was back in the 1940's but I believe the Proberts had a son, Peter. It is possible that he may be still alive although I have no further knowledge of this.

Kind regards
Robert
