- The George and Fox -HistoryKnown by locals as sometimes “The George” and sometimes
“The Fox”, the establishment was regarded as a lucky, popular pub as early
as the 1790s. It was a busy coaching inn specialising in stage coaches
running between Birmingham and Liverpool when it also served as
Penkridge’s post office. The original George and Fox was the birthplace of
John Hewitt (1777), father of Abram S. Hewitt, elected mayor of New York
in 1886. The historic inn was lost in the road widening of 1931.
