REMEMBERING YESTERYEAR
The White Lion Hotel was originally built in 1864. By 1875 the hotel was advertising additional accommodation at its stables, with separate forage rooms and loose boxes for the special convenience of racehorses.
It was then rebuilt in 1885 and 1887 in two stages, and again in the 1950s when the brick exterior was put up first and the hotel rebuilt from inside to out.
When The White Lion’s interior was again renovated in 2020, the original Cold Room door was rescued to honour the hotel’s historic past.
The White Lion’s unique moment in history was several decades ago when a plumber mixed up the water pipes with the lines to the keg. In the old accommodation rooms upstairs guests were startled to find themselves showering in beer.
