White Horse

An intact refurbishment of 1962 which is an example of good late work by the Halifax brewers Ramsden’s. Designed by their managing director, T Hardy, a qualified architect, the scheme re-fashioned the older premises here into a practical two-room interior, unfussy but with quality features. The servery has the clean lines redolent of its time, with fine wood finishes, recessed lighting and mirror-backed shelving. Both rooms have fitted seating and the neat tap room is served by hatch. The lounge-bar's plasterwork has pyramid motifs.
