St. Albans Street Survey 1986: Tabard clothes shop, 18, George Street, St. Albans. This shop stands on the site of the former Antelope Inn, on the corner of George Street and Spicer Street. This inn was also known at one time as the Tabard Inn, hence the shop name. This shop was also once the location of Antelope Antiques, an antique shop whose name clearly also derives from the great inn which once stood on this site. This shop was owned by the grand-daughter of local artist Holmes Edwin Cornelius Winter. Before Telford's construction of Verulam Road in 1825, George Street was the main road into St Albans from the north-west, and before the rise of St Peter's Street, between the two world wars, it was one of the city's principal shopping streets.
