Hi Desley You're quite right, The George seems to have been on the corner of George St/High Street where the NatWest bank now stands. However, I have a 1927 Street Directory for Croydon and your Benjamin G Revell was landlord of the George IV public house at 94 George Street. He was still there in 1938 (entry in telephone directory). Long gone, I'm afraid but if you Google Streetview it, walking up George Street from High Street/North End, you cross the junction with Wellesley Rd/Park Lane and it would have been on the right - before you get to East Croydon Station on the left. Somewhere where the AIG building/Croydon College is now, I would think - near the statue of the man on a horse. It was next door to the Fairfield Mission Hall. I've got quite a lot of books with photos of old Croydon - I'll see what I can find.
