The pub has been converted into a house and is now called Highway Cottage.  You can still make out the hop leaf sign of Simonds Brewery on the chimney. Highway cottage was recently up for sale, and its history was part of the online sales material – from which I quote: “Highway Cottage was formerly “The George & Dragon” public house, run by local Simonds brewery which later became Courage brewery. Decommissioned in 1957, the property was bought by the brewery’s Quantity Surveyor who converted it into a family home. The original part of the house is thought to have been built in 1731 with a later Victorian extension.”
