The 'locally listed' Royal George pub occupying the corner of Cradock Street and The Coneries. This is a late 19th century construction in what is described as in "severe Gothic/Domestic Revival style". The tall brick building on the left, in the direction of Baxtergate is currently occupied by British Telecom plc. The Coneries derives its name from the rabbit (or coney) warrens in the vicinity that provided fresh rabbit meat for consumption at Loughborough Manor House.
