This pub was also known as the Standing Cross and is now used as Morello, a restaurant.

At the age of nine, I moved to within a couple of hundred yards of this pub and, in fact, spent a lot of my time playing with the son of the landlord. I don’t remember it ever being called the George but can’t swear that it never was. In my day, it was always the Standings Cross. Many years later, it’s name was changed to the Poet.
