With quite a few "White Horses" in Sheerness and no definitive address, some of these may be one and the same.

I have reference to a "Lower White Horse" in the High Street,  an "Old White Horse" in the High Street of Blue Town,  an "Upper White Horse" at Blue Town, and also a "White Horse" High Street, Blue Town, and another "White Horse" addressed as Mile Town.

 

Kentish Gazette, 3 February, 1779.
