Building record 1681/0/18 - The Green Dragon Public House, Hall Hill

Public house. Late C17, C18 remodelled and extended C19. Squared coursed limestone with slate roof. Summary from record 1681/0/38: A number of inns & alehouses have been located in 1725 and there is a high potential for documentary based study to enable the identification of the remainder. In such cases historic building study may determine whether any significant characteristics are identifiable in any surviving structures.
