Obituary: Kenneth Hurren
Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.JUST before the war Ken Hurren, a friend of my brother, aroused our admiration by getting a job at pounds 5 per week (when the going rate for school leavers was about pounds 2) with a precursor of Time Out called, I remember, About Town, writes Fred Parrott (further to the obituary by Adam Benedick, 15 November). It covered London entertainment and was a prototype information sheet for those who sought what is now called 'street cred'.
The school, however, was not Westminster, but the neighbouring and well-thought-of and effective London grammar school Westminster City.
