Description:The George and Dragon pub was built in the late 18th century by John Clark, a joiner, and in 1788 the landlord is John Shubotham.
His son later let the public house to Edward Evans who is listed as a hatter in census returns.
At the time it was not unusual for a publican to have another trade.
Joiners, hatters, clock and watchmakers and auctioneers are among some of the trades recorded in various directories.
