SKEGNESS LAD’S MISFORTUNE
Playing around the Council’s steam-roller while it vas backing into Mr Manton’s yard on Sea Road Road on Saturday, little Cyril Kirby, aged nine years, of St. Andrews Drive, had the misfortune to have one foot crushed by the roller.
He was taken to the Cottage Hospital in a car by members of the local Police Force and was attended by Dr. D. F. Menzies.
We understand that the little sufferer had to have several of his toes amputated.
