About

He was born in Carlisle and after working in Ipswich as the Borough Engineer he was appointed in 1926 in Hastings, East Sussex as the Borough and Water Engineer, later including the role of Borough Planning Officer. He was granted the freedom on the Borough in 1960, a year before his death at the age of 76.
