Friends of Cleethorpes Heritage is very saddened to announce that our dear friend and colleague, Dr Alan Dowling Phd, has passed away.

Dr. Dowling was due to give a talk on life in Ruhleben, the First World War internment camp, this Saturday, 8th September, at the Heritage Open Day event at Cleethorpes Town Hall and had been working continuously for the past months researching this subject.

As Alan’s family and FOCH wish to honour him by continuing with his talk, we are both very grateful to Cllr. Margaret Cracknell, who has kindly offered to read Alan's talk on his behalf.

Alan's family have passed all his files on this subject to FOCH and Cllr. Cracknell, in order for you all to not only hear this wonderfully detailed story, but also to see the files of research Alan completed in readiness for this event.

We do hope to see you all on Saturday to join us in honouring Alan's work at our last event.
