Address: 348, Station Road, Bamber Bridge
The White Horse Inn was located on the opposite side of the road from the Hob Inn and Spinners Arms on Station Road. The building is still there today but hasn't been a pub for many years.
Listed landlords were Ann Woods (1841), William Adcroft (1851), John Lancaster (1859-61), John Hunter (1871-87), Elizabeth Hunter (1887), James Rigby (1891-92), Henry Bradshaw (1892), William Finch (1892-), Walter Yates (1901), William Turner (1911) and Jas(James) Brindle (1917).

Future landlord John Lancaster is recorded on the 1854 directory above as a shopkeeper although I suspect that he was already running the Inn by this stage as the press article below from 1867 confirms that there was also a shop in the premises.

On the 1938 map below the White Horse is marked as a "Club". I'm not sure whether it had changed its name and/or usage by this time but it was clearly still in use as a social gathering venue.
