George Inn, Little Park St, 24th May 1914
An outing by charabanc for patrons of The George Inn, Little Park Street. Photo taken 24th May 1914.
This pub is first mentioned in a register of loans and charities in 1802. In 1808 the George Inn was the meeting place of the Provincial Grand Lodge of Warwickshire (Freemasons). On 21st August 1840 there is mention of a wager between Mr Oakes, landlord of the Reindeer in Well Street and Mr East, landlord of the George, Little Park Street, in the Coventry Standard. In 1896 it was purchased by Phillips and Marriott for £1,200 and in 1899 they valued it at £2,000. In 1924 to 1927 it was a "noted house for footballers" but on 24th August 1935 it closed.

This name originally referred to St. George, the patron saint of England (often coupled with the dragon). Since 1714, George has been a kingly name in England, six different kings having borne it.
