George The Cat Alley... ;D

A street sign has been installed next to a Nottinghamshire alleyway in memory of a "disarmingly friendly" cat who died in 2023. George, as he was called by those who adopted him at the Beeston Business Park, was found as a stray kitten and cared for by security guards. He became a "well-known and well-loved character" among residents, often accompanying them in an alley near Technology Drive and appearing in local pubs. The sign was requested by a nearby neighbour, Broxtowe Borough Council confirmed. --- "BBc".
