The Old George in the Cloth Market is one of the city’s oldest drinking places, claiming 17th Century royal connections.
When Charles I was being held by the Scots in Pilgrim Street for a few months in 1646, legend has it that he was allowed to play golf on the Shieldfield and stop off at the George for a drink. The "Charles I Room" and the chair in which he sat still exist.
The George came very close to closure in 1928, but was granted a reprieve - the licensee was ordered to clean and paint the premises, improve the ventilation and provide proper lavatories!
