| Notes: | The "Red Bull" pub (80-82 Grays Inn Road WC1, see separate entry) appears on later Ordnance Survey maps in an overlapping position on the corner (rather than a few doors along Portpool Lane). This is presumably the "White Horse" pub which is previously mentioned on Portpool Lane (also named as the "White Horse and Sun" or "White Horse and Rising Sun" in some early-19th century Sun Fire Office insurance records). |
