Title
Interior of a house in Borough High Street
Description
Detail of derelict first-floor room in 83 Borough High Street, Southwark. Timber framing and a wooden cornice is visible and the fireplace is blocked up. Through the door is a staircase of mid–eighteenth century date that has solid moulded strings, turned balusters, ball-capped square newels and plain handrail. This building was demolished and is now the site of George House offices, named after The George Inn public house at the rear. The George is marked on a 1542 map, but it likely dates back to the medieval period. In 1849 the inn was sold to the Governors of nearby Guys Hospital and they incorporated the eastern side into the hospital premises and sold the remainder to the North Western Railway Company, who demolished the buildings on the north side. Therefore only the south side of the seventeenth-century inn remains, however it is the only surviving galleried inn in London; owned by the National Trust, and Grade I listed, number 1378357.
