The White Horse If you visit the top of Guildford town, you might notice a gallant looking knight riding a white horse, charging off the façade of 253 Upper High Street. The unit, part of which is The Harbour Hotel's The Long Bar, used to house a pub, likely dating back to the late 1700s called The White Horse. Pubs named ‘The White Horse’ were tribute to the House of Hanover, the Royal family of the time period. Guildford's White Horse was a pub until 1964, when it was refurbished and transformed into the Guildford Hotel. In recent years the site underwent a massive redevelopment as part of the Harbour Hotel complex. Despite numerous changes over the years the unusual feature has remained.
