PUB LIST PUBLIC HOUSES Paul Skelton

Earliest 1824-

Lower White Horse

Latest 1828+

High Street

Sheerness

 

Reference I have found so far for this pub is in the Pigot's Directory of 1828.

The pub was listed under Taverns and Public Houses.

I also have reference to another "White Horse" in the High Street  and another "White Horse" at Mile Town.

 

From the Kent Herald, 23 September 1824.

About 4 o'clock on Monday morning, a seaman belonging to one of the bomb ships lying in the Nore, fell from one of the attic windows of the "Lower White Horse" public house at Sheerness, into the street, where he was found by a soldier and a seaman of the Preventative service, with his collar bone broken, and his body otherwise much mangled. Surgical aid was immediately procured, and the poor man was conveyed to the military hospital at Sheerness. It is supposed that he got out of the window in his sleep; or perhaps he might have retired a little too fresh. He died the following morning.
