Photo Description : Old White Horse pub, Friar Gate, Derby, Derbyshire. Image Reference No. : DP-TAN-FRIARGATERAIL2-134 Details : This view shows the location of the former White Horse pub, which was located at 96 Frair Gate. At the time, this pub was the oldest inn in Derby. It was demolished on October 13th 1876 to make way for the Great Northern Railway. Today Handysides' Railway bridge from 1876-8 still stands proud. Friar Gate Railway Bridge is a well known Derby landmark. The only reference I had to go on here for taking a current photograph was the building next to the pub (93 Friar Gate), who's chimney stacks have been removed at some point. No 93 Friar Gate was built between 1840 and 1843, when Glover mentions it as a new house of Mr. Shaw in his Gazeteer for that year. Mr Shaw was William, a cornfactor. No 93 is a rare classical building by Derby architect Henry Isaac Stevens (1806-1873). I would like to thank Maxwell Craven for the info on No 93. In the view today stands a K6 Telephone Box, designed by the famous Architect Sir Giles Gilbert Scott.
