Your question made me curious, Cupcake, because my interest in Whitesands lies particularly in another long gone hostelry there, called the Farmers Inn, which was run by my ggg-grandmother and where my gg-grandmother was born. The 1852 OS map I have shows both the Hoddam Castle Inn at the junction of White Sands and Brewery Street (now occupied by a Land Rover spares dealer), and the Farmers Inn (now occupied by a coffee shop/restaurant) a bit further along Whitesands.
I see that the Post Office Directory for 1911-12 describes the Hoddom Castle Inn at 32 Whitesands as being occupied by Mrs Paterson. But it's no wonder a few disappeared over the years; my map suggests that there were at least 14 inns in Whitesands and Brewery Street between Buccleuch and Bank Streets.
