The White Horse Public House

The White Horse Public House is a late 17th/early 18th century building in Forest Hill, near Shotover, situated on Wheatley Road. It is constructed of colourwashed limestone rubble with timber lintels, and has a plain-tile roof with a brick ridge stack. The building follows a 3-unit lobby-entry plan.

The front elevation features a central entrance, with a 20th-century rubble and tiled porch. To the left of the entrance is a horizontal sliding sash window, and to the right a 3-light casement window. Further to the right are two smaller windows, one of which was probably originally a door. Two small 2-light gabled dormers are visible in the attic. The roof is half-hipped to the right side, and the brick ridge stack has a rounded brick string course.

A single-storey unit to the left has a door and a small-pane 2-light casement window, and its roof partially conceals the remains of a stone label over a blocked window in the left gable of the main range. The interior features open fireplaces with timber bressumers. The lower range is believed to have formerly been a smithy.
