The Black Horse is a grade II listed pub in Thetford, Norfolk, England. It dates from the Mid 18th century and is constructed of flint, clunch and brick, with a colour wash over plaster, and a roof of black-glazed pantiles. [1] [2]
It was modified and enlarged in the 19th and 20th centuries when the rooms on the ground floor were knocked into one. [1]
Beer was brewed on the premises until the 1860s (latterly by the proprietor, a Mr John W. Tyrell [3]), when the pub was sold to Bidwell and Company, then Thetford's largest brewers. Between 1928 and 1936, the publican was G Sweeney. [4] As of 2015, the pub is run as a free house.
The building was given grade II designation by English Heritage (now Historic England), protecting it from unauthorised development or demolition, in March 1971. [1]
