The sign is one of many in the UK that relate to royalty. In this case it is King George III of Great Britain. He ruled between 1760 and 1820.

The picture is taken from this full length portrait that was painted circa 1762 by Allan Ramsay and shows him standing and wearing his coronation robes.

The pub is close to both the Leeds General Infirmary and the Law Courts and is popular with people from both places.
