I remember Norman, I had my first pint in Brasseys in 1959 when I was 14, we were in the sea cadets which were based in East Steet just across the road, and I went in with one of the older lads who bought me a brown mix, being my first pint I drank the half mild and poured the brown in the glass, we went up to Chester to see Norman when he moved I think it was to the George and Dragon, happy days.
That's right, we moved to the George & Dragon in Chester when I was 10, but we only stayed there for about 18 months and then moved back to the Nelson in Grove Road. We stayed at the Nelson for about 5 years when my father left the licensed trade.
Unfortunately Norman died young (59) in 1982 but you may also remember my mother Josie as well, she died in 2007 (84)
