The following passage mentions an auction taking place at the "Upper White Horse" which suggests to me that there was probably another pub called the "Lower White Horse" or just "White Horse" in the same area on 1827.

 

From the Maidstone Gazette and West Kent Courier, 2 February, 1827.

To Brewers, Publicans, and others.

Blue Town, Sheerness.
