I think this dragon on a balcony is a fairly recent addition to the pub.
The George and Dragon is an old coaching inn built in the Tudor style. The site of the George & Dragon is outside the Porta Decumana, or North Gate and during the Roman occupation was utilised as a burial ground. The Romans, not wishing to waste space within the fortress, always laid their dead to rest outside the defensive walls and this part of the road into Chester would once have been lined with elaborate memorials to departed citizens and soldiers.

The ghost of a Roman soldier is said to pass backwards and forwards through the walls of the George & Dragon.
