More about this scene

Originally a 17th-century building, the White Horse Hotel developed as a coaching inn and had extensive stabling. During a terrible flood in 1952, the river burst its banks and five feet of water surged through the hotel and stables. Luckily, the horses were freed as the stables collapsed, and next morning all twenty-two were found alive and well.
