Historic - built 1864

The old White Horse Hotel in Necks that still stands after 153 years! The teams of horses would stop there on the route - they had to be rested every 5 miles.
The wife of the landlord, Mrs Fisher raised 12 children in the tiny hotel while also catering for up to 14 guests at a time - all with no power or running water.
A new hotel was built across the road in 1925 and this hotel was abandoned but a group of people in 1990 stepped in and made it secure even if not habitable.
Great looking building, and lovely processing.
