The clue photo (on the left above or first image) is from c1880 of the W side of St Mary’s Chare, looking NW. The archway leads to the entrance to the George & Dragon Inn that closed in 1937.
The second photo shows the building in 1979.
The third photo shows the same building in 2020. The archway now leads to The Courtyard.
Thats really interesting. I bet that was a nice pub, shame its long gone now … and interesting to see the road was re-cobbled at some point after tarmac in the 1970s photo.
