Full Description

A public house called the Green Dragon is thought to have occupied this site on Waterside North since at least 1735. The structure is thought to have been partly rebuilt in 1863, but was demolished in 1956, when works to widen the adjacent Broadgate road were conducted. A photograph taken of the building in 1954 shows it to have been of two storeys, and built of brick with a slate roof. An application to transfer the pub's licence to the much older adjacent building was approved prior to the demolition, with the Green Dragon re-opening there in 1957 (see MLI94090). {1}{2}
