Description
The Black Horse public house is located on the west side of High Street. Traditionally, it served as a royal mews for Richard III when he was lord of the Castle of Skipton from 1483 to 1485. The building features a front with two canted bay windows and a central doorway, along with three sash windows on each of the two upper storeys. The exterior is stuccoed over stone. To the left, a segmental arch leads to a yard, accompanied by an older arch and a mounting block nearby. There is a re-used datestone from 1676, along with two windows of that date located at the rear of the arch, which have two and three lights with chamfered stone mullions.
