EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the White Hart Inn, a historic coaching inn located in the heart of Southwark, London, in the year 1875. The White Hart Inn, with its distinctive white sign bearing the image of a hart, was a significant coaching stop along the London to Dover road. The inn, which no longer exists today, was situated at 62 Borough High Street, a location that was known as White Hart Inn Yard prior to the street renumbering in 1869. The White Hart Inn was a popular resting place for travelers and their horses, providing shelter and sustenance during their long journeys. The inn's strategic location near the Southwark Bridge made it an essential stop for those crossing the Thames River. The building's grand facade, with its ornate brickwork and large windows, exuded an air of elegance and hospitality. Despite the passage of time and the many changes that Southwark has undergone, a plaque marks the spot where the White Hart Inn once stood. The inn's rich history continues to be a source of fascination for locals and historians alike, offering a glimpse into the past and the important role that coaching inns played in the transportation and commerce of London during the 19th century.
