When the prince arrived in Derby on 4 December, he called at the inn and demanded billets for his 9000 troops. The event is re-enacted every year on the anniversary of the Prince's arrival.
The inn is now a public house called "Jorrocks", having had several different names since the 1980s. First, it changed from "The George" to "Mr. Jorrocks", only to be re-named "Lafferty’s" during a fad period for Irish theme pubs, before taking on its current name. Some hope that, in view of the connection with Bonnie Prince Charlie, the original name will be re-adopted. The pub was renamed Mr. Jorrocks in 2005
