The George Centre stands on the site of the old George Hotel, once an impressive local hostelry built in 1780 and still retaining many of its features. The north wing was added in 1923 then in 1990 the site was converted into an indoor shopping centre, using the architectural splendour of the former hotel, which is a Grade II* listed building. The Centre is now managed by Jones Lang LaSalle Ltd. The George Inn was mentioned in "Nicholas Nickleby" and the cellars may contain traces of a medieval inn.
