This view of the yard of the 'Old George Inn', located on the High Street, shows the portion where diarist Samuel Pepys lodged when he stayed in Salisbury.

On Wednesday 10th June 1668, Pepys wrote that he had: ‘Come to the George Inne, where lay in a silk bed; and very good diet. To supper; then to bed.’ The bustling inhabitants, golden tones and chickens pecking in the yard give the scene a rustic and homely feel.
