My Grandmother, Edith Beart was working as a barmaid in the snug at the Maids Head Hotel in 1902 when she met my grandfather. He was David Maggs who had a successful saddlery business in Upper King St in Norwich. They married in 1904, as well as had four daughters, one of which was my mother Winifred. So you could say that if it wasn’t on behalf of the Maids Head, I, as well as my family wouldn’t be here today. I was at a family wedding at the hotel in December, as well as my wife, as well as I had a drink in the snug. We felt we could feel my Grandmothers presence, as it seemed that we were stepping back in time. I hope this shall be of interest to you. John Garrett.
