The Green Dragon Inn

Memories of my husband and I as managers of The Dragon in the early70s,  our staff were Mary Lambert, Val Lovely (I think she has changed her name)and Pam Verges, and the lovely football players from Lincoln City, especially the Percy Freeman one, if you're all still out there I would love to hear from any old customers and friends.

Sleeping inside Lincoln Castle

My Grandfather, Harry Westwood, was custodian at the Castle for many years, retiring in 1966.  He passed the position to his son Tom Westwood, my uncle.  Tom retired in 1986.
