Bennett Middleton

We were saddened to hear of Bennett's death on March 5th 2014.  Bennett was a fisherman and lifeboat man from Sheringham, as was his father 'Old Bennett' and as is his son Fuzz Middleton.  Amongst other boats he commissioned crab boat Welcome Messenger to be built by Billy May.

We are glad to have some short films of Bennett talking about his life, some on his own and some with Jack West...
