MITCHELDEAN

George Hotel, Star Pitch, High Street

The George Hotel has been a pub since c.1600. Its history goes back still further when it was a pin factory and also lead shot was manufactured on the premises. It was once known as the George and Dragon. Its upper storey was removed in 1947 when it was found to be in a dangerous condition. The pub is still trading but no longer offers accommodation. It is now known as the George Inn. In 1891 and 1903 it had an annual rateable value of £20 and closed at 10 p.m.
