Description: An old building adjoining the Hall was used as an inn. This was rebuilt in 1916 as a station hotel, it being accepted at the time that the LNER railway which was to be brought from Nottingham to Sheffield would provide a station at the railway bridge in Alfreton Road. The station was in fact eventually built at Tibshelf. The George and Dragon then became a white elephant until about 1920, when a cinema which had been built in Hall Lane started to have variety shows and drama sketches. The artists who were travellers stayed at the hotel. (information from www.derbyshireuk.net)
