George & Dragon
The George & Dragon stands in the middle of two roads, Parkgate, and Liverpool. Originally the church of St Thomas Becket is said to have stood here, then 'Jolley's Hall'. Latterly it was owned by John Fletcher, who published a newspaper in the city, but it now is a public house, often frequented by the students who are just down the road at the University. There have been numerous reports of sightings of the ghost of a Roman Centurion here, and, indeed, it stands roughly where the Romans would have buried their dead, so that they could pay their respects as they passed out of the city.
