Early but short lived. - a photo on Flickriver

            This unassuming little piece of Longton was probably one of the earliest pubs in the town.
Sitting on Heathcote Road (formerly George Street), just off The Strand, was once The Geoge Inn which occupied the two nearer shops, Ladbrokes and Longton Lock Supplies & Trophy Centre. There are records of this being a public house dating back to 1818 but it appears to have closed by 1851.
It sits on what is often called "Longton's Bermuda Triangle", the area around the junction of The Strand with Heathcote Road and Gold Street which contained numerous pubs and a place where the men of Longton were said to disappear for days at a time, especially after receiving their pay packet.
Until recently the locksmiths contained two businessses called Cafe Continental and Anna Maria's Beauty Spot Salon.
Longton town centre is listed as a conservation area at risk by English Heritage.
