Mr Russell Houghton tells us that an indenture he has seen records the name change from Talbards to the Green Dragon between 1712 and 1714. Ownership also changed from Thomas Tyler to Martha Pannell but the occupier was the widow Barnard at that time (1714).

The Green Dragon was finally demolished in the 1960s.

Footnote

The green dragon may be a reference to the Earl of Pembroke and appears on their coat of arms. William de la Pole, 1st Duke of Suffolk was an important medieval English soldier and commander in the Hundred Years' War and later Lord Chamberlain of England. He was created Earl of Pembroke in 1447 and Duke of Suffolk in 1448.
