There has been a pub at this location since the 1700’s. Originally called the Old Golden Ball the public house was renamed The George IV in 1830’s in honour of the King.
In the 1911 census the landlord was listed as a 51 year old Charles Crane originally from Ibstock, he lived there with his wife Dora and their children.
The latest refurbishment of the pub in 2017 saw a change in theme from popular live music venue to a sports bar.
