The license of the George Inn was transferred by Greene King to their new pub the Greengage, Tollgate Lane, Bury St Edmunds after the George licence was voluntarily surrendered on 5 Dec 1957. There was once a framed notice to this effect in the Greengage.
Footnote
Sir William Greengage (originally from Norfolk) was an 18th cent local resident who imported the distinctive variety of plums from France in 1724 (where they were called Reine Claude - French for "Queen Claude").
