George and dragon

Images of Saint George (and his dragon) are pretty much everywhere, so it was not hard to find a depiction of him to put up on the photo-blog on this, St George’s Day. I like this one a lot though.

I came across it on a building in the midst of a ‘clearance area’, where all the old rows of homes have been pulled down to make way for, er, regeneration. Only the regeneration doesn’t seem to have started yet.

The building (now home to offices owned by Alliance) used to be a Parker’s Ales pub, and the old pub's mosaic over the door is quite fine.
I like that they kept the mosaic at least.
