White Hart GL14 1JB

The White Hart had a long association with the Stroud Brewery Company. It is possible that the beers were once transported by train from Wallbridge station in Stroud via the Severn Railway Bridge to Lydney Junction and then by road to Newnham. The annual rateable value of the White Hart Inn was £21.10s.0d. in 1891 and 1903, closing at 11 p.m. The White Hart was in the parish of Westbury on Severn despite being closer to Newnham. An early photograph of the pub shows a simple whitewashed brick built building. Over the years the White Hart has been enlarged and the garden backing onto the River Severn has an old boat mast erected on it. Map reference SO 699129.
