This info from the Links page on this site:

White Horse Hotel, High Street GL17 0AT
The White Horse Commercial Hotel was the nearest pub to the Mitcheldean Forest Brewery and might have once qualified as the brewery tap. A sandstone brick building that has changed very little over the last hundred years or so, except that the beers are no longer brewed next door. The White Horse is now a free house. The Flooks were resident at the White Horse for over 25 years and had previously run the Talbot in Calne, Wiltshire. Unfortunately Mrs Flooks died as a result of falling down the cellar steps.
