Green Dragon public house 43 King Street, Stroud Gloucestershire GL5
Four storey, three bay with “distinctive Baroque ashlar façade” (Verey and Brooks, 2002, 660). Three arched windows at first floor, mounting boss for inn sign, scroll detail at first floor which formed open pediment to entrance to Inn, elaborate corbel table with grotesques. Original windows with smaller panes in upper section. 1897. The Green Dragon Inn appears in trade directories from 1820 to 1920s (appeared in in Piggott’s 1820 trade directory). The stonework above the ground floor is as it was when the building was rebuilt by Godsell’s brewery in the 1890s. However the ornate ground floor with stained glass and etched glass has long since disappeared.
