White Hart, 19 Surrey Street, Littlehampton
Littlehampton pub history index
The pub began life as ‘The Swan’ in 1761 with the name
changing to the ‘Dolphin’ in 1772 at which time it was owned by two brothers. In
the 1780s the two brothers had a severe falling out and one left to establish
his own pub further along Surrey Street at its junction with High Street which
he also named the ‘Dolphin’ – the site of the existing ‘Dolphin Inn’. After some
dispute over the names of their respective inns, the brother who owned the
original building renamed his premises the ‘White Hart’ in 1784.
The ‘White Hart became the station for the coastal coach established between
Brighton and Bognor after the Littlehampton chain ferry came into being in 1825.
The pub briefly became ‘The London Tavern’, (sometime post 1911) before becoming
the ‘Cob and Pen’ at the turn of the new millennium and has subsequently been
again renamed ‘The White Hart’ in 2012. **
