EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the entrance front of The Old White Horse Inn, located on Watling Street in Hockliffe, Bedfordshire. Dated back to July 1917, the image was beautifully captured by the renowned photographer H. Bedford Lemere. The Old White Horse Inn, a coaching inn of great historical significance, is nestled amidst the picturesque countryside, with its timber-framed facade exuding character and charm. The Old White Horse Inn, a Grade II listed building, has a rich history that dates back to the 16th century. It was once an essential stopover for travelers and merchants along the ancient Watling Street, one of the oldest roads in Britain. The inn's name is believed to have originated from the white horse sign that once hung above the entrance, a common symbol of hospitality and welcome. The photograph reveals the intricate details of the inn's exterior, with its ornate wooden beams, leaded windows, and quaint door. The thatched roof, a traditional feature of many English inns, adds to the building's rustic appeal. The image also provides a glimpse into the past, offering a glimpse into the sights and sounds of a bygone era. The Old White Horse Inn continues to be a popular destination for locals and visitors alike, offering a warm and welcoming atmosphere, delicious food, and a range of fine ales.
