The evocative photo of wagons and horses outside the Green Dragon, dating from around 1900, was one of several Wymondham pictures kindly left to me by the late Margaret "Maggie" Murrell, who sadly passed away last November.

At the time of the picture, the Dragon was regarded as "a top people's pub" and, before World War One, did not serve mild beer. At the time of writing, it is waiting for someone to take over the tenancy.

Legendary Fred Turnell, seen in the middle of the group, held the tenancy from 1953 to 1986 and during that time Maggie, a great local character, supported him in the pub. Fred is holding a merit award, presented by the directors of Norwich Brewery for outstanding achievement in a floral competition for baskets and tubs in 1979.

The other photo shows the front of the pub decorated with floral arrangements around 1960. A pretty picture!
