Evidence
Undated
Closed Pubs: The George & Pelican was situated at 25-27 Bartholomew Street. Same physical place later used as Bar Sport.
Closed Pubs - George & Pelican, Newbury
Closed Pubs: The George & Pelican closed in 2012 and was subsequently used as Bar Sport. Year-level closure from Closed Pubs — do not invent a month or day from this source alone.
Closed Pubs - George & Pelican, Newbury
Newbury Today (20 Jan 2012): The George & Pelican opened in September 2009 (manager Lee Miller; later Barracuda Group). Month-level only — date_value is month anchor (01), not an exact day. Name recalled an 18th-century coaching inn near Pelican Lane, not this building.

Closed Pubs: after the 2012 closure the premises were subsequently used as Bar Sport (also later closed). Sequential identity at the same 25–27 Bartholomew Street place — not a rename of the trading name while open.

Newbury Today (20 Jan 2012): Barracuda closed the George & Pelican with immediate effect that week (published 20 January 2012). Corroborates Closed Pubs' 2012 closure at month level — date_value is month anchor (01), not an exact day.
