The George Hotel ~ History

The George as it was originally known is believed to have been first built in the fouteenth or fifteenth century. At that time it would have been an alehouse serving the packhorse trains trudging between the quarries of Castleton and the foundries of Sheffield. They doposited the metal wrought in Sheffield to be made into buttons and needles at England's first needle factory in Hathersage. Traffic between there and Sheffield became such that in the 1700's a turnpike had to be built, and it was around that time that 'The George' came to be called an 'Inn'.
