9.11 White Hart Lane
9.11.1 White Hart Lane is another short east-west street linking Churchgate/
High Street with the ‘back lane’ of the village, Paddock Street. It is
tightly enclosed on its northern side by older buildings lining the street,
whilst the southern side is more open, as it mainly contains later
buildings. Views west along the street are of St Andrews Church, which
rises above the buildings because the land ascends slightly towards
the High Street.
9.11.2 Starting at the western end of the street, the lane is very narrow at this
point and tightly constrained by buildings. Another former inn encloses
the corner of the street on the north side and gives the street its name;
the painted sign of the White Hart Inn can still be seen on the wall. The
lane is entirely residential now and is terminated on its northern side by
the very attractive Cowell Terrace, much of which retains original
windows and doors.
