Very sad news... I am sure that a lot of forum members may have visited East Kirkby at some point...

Thanks Gary,

Of course, very sad news for the family and all. The Panton brothers have achieved much for which we are forever thankful.
Rest in peace, Fred.

I was very pleased to have found a photograph which the Brothers had no knowledge of and added to their museum. What they have built is truly fantastic, Fred has left behind a very special place and he will long be remembered. Thanks Fred.

Great work, mate .............. it is contributions ( no matter how large or small ) from members like yourself that continue to help build up museums such as East Kirkby.
The more the merry I say.
