The George and Dragon was on the corner of Chapel and Lynn.
Bob's ancestor's was a publican there in the 1890s. The map is 1892-1914.
I wonder why isn't it marked on the map, when other Public Houses are?  :-\

Cemetery website:
https://www.friendsofelycemetery.co.uk/ann-richardson-sayer-1820-1898.html

Quoting from there:

It was a respectable house and indeed could hardly have been otherwise standing as it did opposite Ely's Sessions House where justice was regularly dispensed.
