Hi Everyone,
Please can anyone help me? I am looking for the location of the White Hart, High Street, Knaresborough - does it still exist?
The reason behind the request is I am trying to help a friend in Australia with her family tree, and we have found out that in 1861 the family were living and working in the High Street as Druggist & Spirit Merchants only a couple of doors away from the White Hart.
The family were Henry & Elizabeth Paulden, four daughters and one son. The eldest daughter Lucy Ann had married a John Donald Auchterlownie before June 1860 in Great Ouseburn, but less than a year later in 1861 she is a widow. Now I think she may have inherited the wine merchants from her late husband which her father then ran, but that is pure guess work at the moment - and we all know where that can lead!!!!!!!
I was travelling from Scotland to Essex earlier this month and stopped off in Knaresborough for a really good meal, (can recommend the detour from the main road) and took the opportunity to look at the High Street, but not having the details with me could not remember the name of the pub I was looking for - so not much help!!!! I did take a photograph of Threshers Wine Shop because I thought the building looked the right sort of age, but was I way off track?
All help greatly appreciated as when I searched this website for Paulden, Auchterlownie or the White Hart, Knaresborough I came up with a blank each time.
Thank You & Best Wishes, Patsy
