Crawley pub history index

The current White Hart was built in 1770 as a major staging post with stables. James Swift, the landlord, was the first postmaster in 1810; then the post office moved next door. There was a large yard behind and stables alongside Morley's Yard (the local blacksmith). The stables were later a garage and demolished in 1953. The White Hart was Grade II Listed in 1983.
