The sign on the right gives the pub's history from its origins c.1822 to it becoming a Wetherspoon pub in 2013. A document I found online listing the names of past landlords of Sandbach pubs indicates that William Lindop held the George Inn in 1782 so its origins are even older than the sign suggests, though it may have been an earlier building. In 1899 it was the George and Dragon but has reverted to the shorter name since then. Listed grade II (list entry 1330397), see Image for context.
