White Cotton Night Shirt and Long Johns Belonging to the Blackburn Giant Frederick Kempster Frederick John Kempster was born in Bayswater London in 1889. At his peak he was said to have reached 8ft 4.5`` tall and weighed 27 stone. Aged 10 Frederick`s father died leaving his mother to care for him and his six siblings. Unfortunately his growth caused problems at home and he was put into care at Barnardo`s, from here he was sent to Canada for a chance of a better life. It was during these five years that he experienced weakness of the legs and unusual growth. On his return to England and by June 1911 he realised he could make a living by joining Astely & Co`s American Circus. He travelled with them from Bath to Wiltshire, France, Belgium and Germany. Frederick was unable to sign up when The First World War broke out, as he was seen a as an `easy target`. Instead he toured Europe with the circus, was captured in Germany and taken as a prisoner of war. After his release and suffering from malnutrition he returned to Wiltshire to convalesce with his sister who ran The Barge Inn at Seend Cleeve. Frederick went on one final tour around the North of England, and whilst in Blackburn he contracted pneumonia, was hospitalised and never recovered. He died at the age of 29 years on the 15th April 1918. The vendors` family discovered the nightshirt and long johns in the 1970`s whilst clearing the property of his uncle Tom Cook, whose mother owned the Nags Head in Blackburn. Tom befriended and became drinking companions with Fred during his time in Blackburn. The shirt chest size is 62`` The arms are 29`` The inside leg measurement is 37`` Included in the lot are newspaper clippings and ephemera relating to Fred Kempster
