thank you for your reply The MC
I am aware of the hauntings.. my daughter and her partner currently run a resturant at the George Hotel and their staff have reported sightings, which is the reason for my research. They too had heard rumours of somebody being killed during ww11 bombing. However, the women seen is dressed in late 1800ss early 1900s clothing and so I believe that the bombing rumour is incorrect and am trying to prove it. (although there was damage to part of the Inn on 1st June 1943 from a bomb which hit nearby church Holy Trinity - but I cant find any deaths involed)
I did check out the civilian deaths and I too couldnt find anything relating to The George... so with a little more research I think that theory will be disproved - at least I hope I will..
Meanwhile, i have other leads, which I am following up....
I think that breweries keep records??? but am trying to find out where I can obtain copies.... Does anybody know???
the brewery was Cobb & Co, and I believe Whitbread took them over in the mid 1900s....
You never know what a weekend worth of research may reveal...
A big thank you again for your reply and big thank you to anybody else who has any information...
