The George Inn

This Wetherspoon pub preserves the name of the old inn which stood behind a large elm tree at the junction of High Street and Surrey Street. Cut down in the 1820s, the pub and the tree had been a focal point for this part of town.

This pub stands at the end of the Broadway, which was developed in the 1920s, its main feature being the Broadway Cinema. The development was built on the site of an orchard belonging to a local timber merchant, John Butt.
