Some history of the George and Dragon on Albion Street at Hockley in Birmingham in the County of Warwickshire
More information on the George and Dragon on Albion Street to follow. I probably created the page as I had a link to the George and Dragon from another page. When building the site it is easier to place links as they crop up rather than go back later on. I realise this is frustrating if you were specifically looking for information on the George and Dragon. In the meantime I have included some photographs of the public-house. There is information on Birmingham dotted around the website - click here for a suitable starting place.
By the way, do not panic about the scaffolding - this pub came back from the brink and was re-opened as the Pig & Tail Bar and Kitchen
