From Mr & Mrs Woodcock of Shipdham, 2005 (CH B3-1-38a) When you go to the W I Hall, the White Horse [on the corner of 'White Horse Close]
is half way between it, on the left hand side, and there's a brick
wall; stone steps go up on the outside into the back room.
That's where they used to
hold the dances.' |
