The White Horse was situated at 1 Cruxford Street. This grade-II listed pub is now in residential use.
Listed building details:
A multi-phase residential building with C17 origins and later extension, now subdivided into flats. Materials: The principal facade is in red brick. Rear ranges have some exposed timber framing with brick infill, and some rough stone elevations. The roof is slate and there are brick chimney stacks. Plan: The building occupies a corner plot on Cruxwell Street and Tenbury Road. The main range of the building has three bays and runs roughly east-west, parallel with Cruxwell Street. There are further gabled ranges to the rear, perpendicular to the main range. Exterior: The Cruxwell Street facade has three storeys and three bays. The windows are aligned and the door is to the right of the central window. The ground-floor windows have large fixed arched lights with three casements above. At first-floor level there are two-over-two sashes, and at second-floor level three-over-three. The front door is solid with six fielded panels with a rectangular over-light with marginal glazing bars. There is a moulded door case with fielded panels to the return, it has a moulded cornice with scroll corbels. There is a ceramic tile to the left of the front door. The Tenbury Road elevation is three storeys on the main range to the right, and two storeys on the rear gabled range. At ground-floor level there are two windows of the same style as the front, and a modern casement to the left. There are two six-light windows at first-floor level, with central fixed panes and casements either side. Most of the road-facing elevation of this rear range is rendered. The rear elevation consists of two gables; that to the right has an exposed timber frame with brick infill to the upper level. The left-hand gable is in rough stone and has steps up to a first-floor entrance. There is a dentil cornice below the eaves on the two road-side ranges. Interior: Not inspected History: No. 1 Cruxwell Street has origins in the C17. It appears it was originally a rectangular two-and-a-half-storey dwelling which was then extended to the rear with perpendicular gabled ranges, and was refronted with brick in the C18. There are records referring to a public house on the site as early as 1669 and it remained in use as such until the late-C20 before being converted to domestic use.
