The George was situated at the junction of Above Bar Street and Cold Harbour Lane and was originally set back from the street. This inn had been a feature of Above Bar since at least 1569, when it was mentioned in the Court Leet records. It was rebuilt in the 18th century. For a short time in the early 20th century the Fire Service used the George Inn stables as temporary accommodation. The Fire Service had been been situated in Bargate Street, but were forced to move when the police station was extended. The George inn was demolished in the early 1930s to make way for the ring road around the Bargate.
