The Green Dragon was situated on Broadgate. It was demolished in 1956 with the next door building taking on the Green Dragon name and licence.
This original Green Dragon was a brick building (partly rebuilt 1863) east of the current building apparently licensed in or before 1735 to Thomas Bateman. Reputedly in 1737 the landlord was arrested for holding goods stolen by Dick Turpin. This building was removed in 1956 to accommodate the widening of Broadgate for the new Pelham Bridge

From Lincolnshire Heritage:
A public house called the Green Dragon is thought to have occupied this site on Waterside North since at least 1735. The structure is thought to have been partly rebuilt in 1863, but was demolished in 1956, when works to widen the adjacent Broadgate road were conducted. A photograph taken of the building in 1954 shows it to have been of two storeys, and built of brick with a slate roof. An application to transfer the pub's licence to the much older adjacent building was approved prior to the demolition, with the Green Dragon re-opening there in 1957
