Graham Norman emailed me in 2005. As a baby / young child Graham Norman lived with his grandparents in the Alexander Arms. This was�1941-1951 approx. His grandparents�were tenants of�the pub for 34 yrs approx. His�name was William John Russell. They then retired to live in Abbey Road. � His recollection of the area is�that there were�2 other pubs in the street i.e Gwydir Arms and Prince of Wales. The Prince of Wales on the corner of Norfolk Street and the Alexander Arms were Wells & Winches� of Biggleswade public houses. � Albert Biggs who lived at 29 Gwydir Street says "In the mid 30s and 40's the publican was named Mr Russell and his son Gordon�was with me in the 23rd (St Matthews) scout troop." |
