The George Inn was located in the centre of Berkeley. It closed in 1990.

It is now a rendered building but in Edwardian times it had a plain brick frontage.

The building traded as a furniture store before being converted to the Berkeley Pharmacy.

The George Inn retains its West Country Brewery plaque and remarkably even the pub sign is still in situ.

Evelyn Pollard writes in her book ‘Randwick and Roundabout’… “our favourite ride was to Uncle Josh’s pub, the George at Berkeley. My uncle’s pub at Berkeley was a tiny Georgian building on the High Street and had a slight nautical flavour as it was sometimes frequented by sailors from the nearby Sharpness Port.”
