The Lower George Inn (1), 121 Westgate Street, Gloucester
This public house, formerly a hotel, has had a number of names over its long history. For much of it the business was known as The Lower George Hotel, but in recent years it was The Pig Inn the City. Now it is The Lower George Inn. When it was a Mad O’Rourke's pub in the late 1990's it was painted a bright orange and green. It has been owned by various breweries including Stroud Brewery.
The building is much older than it looks. Originally a merchant's house dating from the 16th century, it has later alterations including a front façade which hides the original timber frame. On the upper floors and in the roof there is or was exposed timber framing. The building is Grade II listed.

The Lower George Inn (2) - brewery plaque, 121 Westgate Street, Gloucester
Despite changes of name & ownership over the years, this pub has managed to retain this West Country Ales plaque, although it is damaged in places. The ceramic plaque is affixed to the front wall of the pub. It was first used by the Gloucestershire brewers, West Country Breweries, who were an amalgamation of others, two of whom commenced brewing in 1760. The plaques were placed by West Country Breweries on their pubs between 1958 and 1963, when Whitbreads took them over. Whitbreads continued to use the castle logo and to install these plaques, for a few years after the takeover until about 1967. There are still quite a few around, with some variation of colour, and in two sizes. At other times the pub was owned by the Stroud Brewery and much later by Banks's Brewery of Wolverhampton.

The Pig's had its bacon
A much-loved pub, with several CAMRA awards to its name, went out of business in October 2011. The landlord went across the road to the Crown Inn and there have not been any takers to carry on with this one.
