Photo In 1844 this pub was leased by W. Westwick to J. Forster for £27 10s per annum. The White Hart Inn was given notice to vacate by the 1st June 1959, and was demolished on 21st December 1962 to make way for the London Road section of the Ring Road.


The earliest examples of this common sign coincide with the beginning of the reign of Richard II in 1377; it was that monarch's heraldic symbol. The hart is the male deer and by latter centuries it became almost a generic term for a tavern.
