Shere, Surrey, The White Horse Pub, c1906
Shere, Surrey, The White Horse Pub, circa 1906. Shere is a picturesque village in Surrey. Whenever I've been there it has been packed with daytrippers. The White Horse pub is still in business.

A pretty village. The White Horse is such a common pub name, does it refer to some historic horse?
ReplyDeleteGood question Mike. Alas I don't know the answer. It is certainly a common name for a pub.
