The family of Bob Allen, of Spring View, are sad to announce his death at the age of 79. Bob was born in East Farndon and lived in the village all of his life. Bob and his brother James, who survives him, worked for many years at the paper factory on the site of the old Rectory. A quiet man, Bob was particularly fond of animals, such as rabbits and ferrets, which he kept at the smallholding behind Spring View. This had been previously worked by his father Ernest Allen, a butcher, who lived at White Cottage, demolished when Spring View was built in 1984. Bob died at The Willows in Market Harborough. The funeral service will be held at 11.30am on Wednesday April 30th 2025, at St John the Baptist’s Church, East Farndon. All are welcome.
