White Hart, High Street, Knaresborough
« on: Saturday 21 January 06 14:57 GMT (UK) »
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

There is a Hannah Auchterlownie & 2 daughters on the 1851 census in the High Street. She is widowed and is a wine and spirit merchant - have you seen that?

Dear Tricia,

Thanks for the information - no I had not spotted that. Perhaps Hannah was the mother of John Donald Auchterlownie, there can't be many of them in the world never mind Knaresborough!

I am still searching for the White Hart, which I take it must have been an inn or public house, no doubt it will turn up when least expected.

Best Wishes, Patsy

In directories for 1822 AND 1834 the White Hart is recorded as being in Market Place Knaresborough. Today there is Hart's Hotel in Knaresborough which is described as being an old coaching Inn here:

There is a map showing Market  Place in the High Street


If you click on this site there is an Email address for a lady called Alyson Jackson who may be able to help you

Good luck, Tricia

Hi Patsy
It doesn't ring a bell Patsy and its not in the phone book. I'll make sure on Monday when I take my son to school. I may be able to find out at the library. If I can find which building it is, do you want a photo?
Monique

added-this site suggests the white hart was in the market place and not the high st. It might be worth emailing for further info

Thank you Tricia & mc8,

Yes please I would like the details, and my next job is  to search the website for Knaresborough suggested by you both.

When I stopped for a meal in Knaresborough a couple of weeks ago I bought a small booklet called "Knaresborough Town Trail" (very good value at 45p)which mentions the High Street being used regularly as a livestock market until early last century, so perhaps it was a place for the market rather than a Market Place!!!!!

Thank you both for all the time and trouble you are going to on my behalf.
Best Wishes, Patsy

Also on the 1851 census there is a John Auchterlownie age 22 and unmarried. His birth place is Knaresborough and he is lodging
with William Hobbins and family. William is a Master Chemist and John is a chemist's assistant.

They're living in Dudley Street, Wolverhampton
