Upper George, Rastrick



The Upper George, Rastrick Aka The George, was near St Matthew's Church, at the junction of Crowtrees Lane & Church Street.

The pub opened in 1827.

The pub closed in 1936.

The building was recorded around 1941, although it was no longer a pub.

It was later demolished.

The car park for St Matthew's Church now occupies the site of the pub.

David Kelly and Derrick Habergham have collected records for 3 pubs - The George, The Upper George, and The Lower George - the first 2 of which would appear to be the same hostelry.
