Mann's 'George & Dragon'
Mann's 'George & Dragon'
Mann, Crossman & Paulin Ltd merged with Watney, Combe, Reid & Co. Ltd in 1958 to form Watney Mann Ltd. Mann's Whitechapel brewery closed in 1979.
After the closure of Mann's brewery, the company became a trading division of the Watney-Mann group, and the company's 'George & Dragon' trade mark became a common feature on pub signs in Britain, even in areas many miles removed from the original trading area. Here are some examples.
