Available for dreams

Roy Broadbent Fuller CBE (11 February 1912 – 27 September 1991) was an English writer, known mostly as a poet. He was born in Failsworth, Lancashire to lower-middle-class parents Leopold Charles Fuller and his wife Nellie (1888–1949; née Broadbent), whose father was clerk to a workhouse master. His father, born in Fulham in 1884, was the illegitimate son of Minnie Augusta Fuller (born 1863), daughter of a Soham police constable, Richard Fuller. Orphaned and subsequently raised with his elder sister, Minnie (later Matron of the Manchester Royal Infirmary) at Caithness, Leopold worked his way up to the position of works manager (also later becoming a director) of a rubber-proofing mill at Hollinwood, Lancashire, dying in 1920. Fuller was subsequently raised in Blackpool, Lancashire, and educated at Blackpool High School.
