Historic Interest
The Dragon is on a curiously long, narrow bending property plot of apparently medieval origin and intended to give a valuable, if limited, frontage access to the Market Square / Angel row area.
Originally a seventeenth-century inn called the Green Dragon, it was rebuilt in 1879 as the George & Dragon. In more recent years it was known for a while as the City Gate Tavern. (Whitworth 2010).
As the George & Dragon it was for many years a Shipstone's tied house.
In 1832, the George & Dragon was a fully licensed establishment under Jas. Worth (White) and in 1874 it was run by publicans D & J Morley (Wright).
The Dragon is located in Nottingham City Council's Old Market Square Conservation Area and has an entry on Nottingham's Local Heritage List as Heritage Asset HA254 (and formerly on Nottingham Civic Society's Draft Local Heritage List (09 December 2013)).
The cave cellars measure 9m x 20m. [Referenced MNU 238 and BGS Ld10].
As at November 2017, the freehold for the Dragon (NT344948) was held by Punch Partnerships (PML) Limited [Reg. No. 3321199]. This was transferred to Patron Capital on the 5th March 2018.
