The George Inn was purchased by the Stroud Brewery from the Berkeley Estate in January 1945. However, Stroud Ales had been served at the George for many years before that under a leasing agreement.
The landlord in the early 1960’s, Cyril Tom Cooper, was a very talented pianist who ran the Dixie Cooper dance band. He died in October 1926.
The George Inn is still trading and owned by Quality Inns
