History

An inn dating back to at least 1803, when John Hick was recorded as the licencee.

The premises were sold in 1864 for £2,100 and then to Mr. C. Potter of the Criterion Hotel in September 1880 for £9,100.[1]

The inn was closed in August 1901 after its licence renewal was refused at the Brewster Sessions of 1901.[2]

Along with Commercial Chambers, the Green Dragon was demolished in the early 1900s to erect Bank Chambers.
