The
White Horse taken earlier on last century.There is evidence that The White
Horse dates back 300 years and was originally next door to St. Mary's Church
on Church Street.When York Street was cut around the 1820's the pub that was
next door to St. Mary's was demolished and built here on the present site.One
of the reason for this I would of thought was at the time Church Street was
the main route out of Clitheroe.So when York Street was cut most of the passing
custom would obviously not go up Church Street.Up to a few years ago this
public house was known locally as 'the pit',but was still a fine boozer with
some great sounds on the backroom jukebox .Like most other local pubs The
White Horse was renovated around 10 years ago.
