It does look like GeorgeYard. Yes - there were several George Yards, one of them in Southwark. Its a little narrow street which runs west off Borough High Street just north of St George's church. Borough High Street is a continuation south south west from London Bridge. This is from my Regency A-Z of London - a brilliant street atlas based on Richard Horwood's map of 1789-1819. George Yard isn't marked on my tattered 1960s A-Z - it has probably disappeared a long time ago. It is actually quite difficult to relate the two maps to each other. Newington Causeway isn't on my Regency A-Z but is in the 1960s A-Z as the continuation of the Borough High Street starting a short distance SSW of St George's and runs to the Elephant & Castle. It would have been just a short walk from No 11 Newington Causeway to George Yard.

Dear Liz A long time ago now, I seem to remember my father talking about a pub that was an old coaching inn in Southwark. This was called "The George" and had a square courtyard preserved. Of course, this may have disappeared by now. The time he was thinking of would have been the early 70s.
