Advertising card for The George, Commercial Inn & Post House, Ilminster

Below is an undated advertising card for The George Inn and Hotel in Ilminster.  Queen Victoria stayed there at the age of 7 months in 1819 (as Princess Victoria).  She ascended the throne on 18th June 1837 on the death of her uncle, William IV. 

The George has just reopened in Ilminster as a pub; here is a recent photograph (from a little while before it reopened).
