The White Horse Inn

The White Horse Inn is an inn with stables and an adjoining market hall, currently functioning as an inn with a skittles alley and restaurant. The inn dates from the 18th century, the market hall was built around 1800, and the stables were constructed in 1867, with both the market hall and stables altered in the mid-20th century.

The inn features a rendered exterior over rubble, steeply pitched slate roofs, and brick stacks at the gable end on the right and rising from below the roof ridge on the left. The layout includes the inn with the attached market hall on the right, and a long stable frontage set back at the rear onto the street. The inn is two storeys high, with a facade that has a long single bay block on the left and three recessed bays on the right. The first floor has 16-pane sash windows, while the ground floor includes a blocked entrance in the outer bay on the left, a tripartite sash window, and a 16-pane sash window flanking a gabled porch with a slate roof. The porch features decorative bargeboards, a two-panel door, and a rectangular fanlight with glazing bars.

The old market house is attached at the end bay on the right, rendered with a pyramid slate roof, overhanging eaves, a coved cornice, and pilaster quoins. It is also two storeys high with two bays, featuring 16-pane sash windows on the first floor and 20th-century casements below. The stables are constructed of red sandstone random rubble with a slate roof, single storey, and consist of five bays with a pedimented centre; most openings have been blocked or refenestrated. The stables were converted into a skittles alley in the mid-20th century. The White Horse Inn is recorded as existing in 1748, while the market hall fell into disuse in the 1860s.
