In 1874 the pub was called the "Whitehall Inn & Station Hotel", its location being a few hundred yards from the train station.

At one time home of the Whitehall Spartans Football team, taking their name from the pub. Unfortunately the pub was closed in 1989, but the team moved on up the road and is now playing at the "Bricklayers Arms".

This pub is said to have been quite famous at one time for its range of death masks, according to Jenny Bushell of the "Bell" in Shepherdswell.
