Description
The White Horse Inn is a public house located in Great Yarmouth, consisting of two distinct buildings from the early and mid-18th century, with later alterations and renovations. The structure is built of red brick and flint, topped with pantiled roofs.
The exterior of No. 12 features two storeys and a three-window range, although it was truncated in the late 20th century. It has a slightly curved facade with a central passageway leading to a rear yard, which includes a timber facade added in the late 19th century. This facade is supported by three fluted pilasters that hold up a metope frieze beneath a mutulated cornice, topped with a low balustraded parapet. The pilasters frame a pair of iron gates and a fixed window. On either side, there are 8/8 sash windows set under finely-gauged skewback arches, fitted into reduced window openings that were originally designed for horizontal mullioned windows. The first floor also has three similar windows in reduced openings. The building has a low parapet below the gabled roof and an internal gable-end stack on the north side. The south return was rebuilt in the late 20th century with a shaped gable. The rear features a segmental relieving arch over the carriageway, along with a storeroom door and a one-light window on the ground floor, both from the late 20th century. There is a late 19th-century rear extension on the north side.
No. 13, added in the mid-18th century, is three storeys high with two bays, separated from No. 12 by a butt join. The ground and first floors have a combined timber door and window case that extends through both storeys, rebuilt in the mid-20th century. This section includes a metope frieze at the ground floor and a broken pediment above a 6/6 first-floor sash window. There is one 6/6 recessed sash window on each floor to the left, along with an additional narrow 2/2 sash on the ground floor and two 3/3 segmental sashes on the second floor. The building also has a low parapet and a gabled roof with an internal gable-end stack to the north. At the rear, there is a parallel block from the 19th century, constructed of red brick with a gabled pantiled roof and sash windows. The interior has not been inspected.
