George-and-Dragon  

Moving from the Black Lion on Belgrave Gate, Joseph Lane was the publican of the George and Dragon in the early 1870's. Born in Thurmaston in 1811, the former framework knitter employed widow Mary Tapley as a housekeeper. In retirement, Joseph Lane moved to Enderby. He lived near the reading rooms at The Cross and died in 1883.
