The George & Dragon was built in 1853. Auctioned off at the Three Crowns in February 1861.
During the 1870s inquests were held here.
There were stables and out building at the rear. The local coal merchant kept his horses here right up until World War II.
Owned by Nottingham Brewery Ltd, then Tennants, the beer was delivered by rail to Leicester, then by horse and dray to the pub.
The George & Dragon had a wonderful glass fronted sign depicting the saint slaying the dragon. Demolished in the slum clearance of the 1960s-70s, having been compulsory purchased in 1965.
