GEORGE HOTEL, Market Street

GEORGE HOTEL   #

1 Market Street

The front entrance that exists today, didn't when it was a hotel. The entrances were
on either side, in Friargate and Market Street - see below.

The Friargate entrance. Although it is now a window,
the doorway entrance can still be seen.

Similarly in Market Street, the entrance is still obvious.
