An early 19th-century house on Hope Street
The White Hart occupies 23 Hope Street, an early 19th-century house on the east side of the street, listed at Grade II on 19 June 1985. The list entry describes a brick building with stone dressings and a slate roof, of three storeys with a basement and four bays, with wedge lintels to the windows.
The entrance is round-headed, with a Doric doorcase, an open pediment and a six-panel door; the windows of the entrance bay are blind. The first-floor windows are sashes, with casements elsewhere.
Before becoming the White Hart the building traded under several names, including the Keystone, Bread & Butter and Clove Hitch. The 1936 Pub Co. reopened it as the White Hart on 18 January 2024, with snugs, an open fire in the front room and a conservatory leading to a beer garden shared with The Engineer on Arrad Street.
