I remember going to the Mayor’s ball at the Hotel Metropol in 1970 when the Mayor of Hove was Norman Freeman. My father was labor councillor Bill Stevens and we went with my mum, my fiance (now hubby), on his birthday, 19th March. It was a lovey occassion.
Norman owned Dorothy Normans the clothes shop in Church Road. Him and his wife where lovely people, does anyone remember them?
I remember both of them. I was an apprentice carpenter and joiner, involved in fitting out the store in Western Rd. they used to pop in to check progress! They had a man who was called Robert who was there most of the time. This must have been mid sixties?
