Description: | "The introduction of the railways has greatly changed the character of these old inns. The 'George' alone seems now to do any considerable business in the 'receipt of travellers;' in other cases the business of a tavern has superseded that of an inn, and the great courtyards are either being gradually encroached on by warehouses, or have been taken up by railway companies as receiving offices."
