The White Lion Hotel was situated on Portsmouth Road. This pub has now been converted into six apartments.

A favourite in the early 60's. Three distinctly different bars with the entrance to the public bar round the back. Had our wedding reception here on 15th October 1966. Arranged the same morning for 10 of us! Also put £50 down as a deposit for our first house on the way there. Total cost for the house £4,750. The White Lion sadly was renamed The Vermont Exchange in the 70's. It was stripped of its character including all the lovely dark wood panelling to leave exposed brick smothered in ‘bric a brac’. – sacrilegious.
