ABOUT THIS BLOG

This popular and historic pub was acquired by its owners in 2009 with a view, initially, to building flats for social housing and then subsequently developing a small housing estate. Local residents opposed these plans from the start.

Planning permission was granted in 2010 after which the site was put up for sale. After many years of inactivity, building work finally started in July 2015. Locally, this was seen as good news. However, the houses have yet to be completed.

The aim of this Blog has been to keep residents informed of current developments and to record the long history of this small community's fight to keep its pub.

Pub History - Can You Help?

Many residents feel that the George & Dragon is of particular historical interest and should be preserved.  There are few old public buildings in the area and it forms an important part of the village's history and local  heritage.

Unfortunately, there is not a lot of published information about either the pub or the village which would substantiate this argument.

Do you know anything about the history of the George & Dragon?  Have you got any really old photographs of the interior or exterior (earlier perhaps than the example given in the archive) ?  The Blog would be very interested to hear from any residents who can provide any material about the pub and its history.  If you do, then please drop me a line by clicking on the link in the Taking Action column on the right hand side of this page.
