Summary: George Tempany Smith ran the Wine Vaults at 24 Great Darkgate Street in the late 1860s. He'd married the daughter of the White Horse in 1853. Is there a connection? Same building, new name?

Notes: Location: on the 1888 map there is a 'White Horse Court' leading on to Queen Street, behind what is 18(?) Great Darkgate Street. (Clinton's Cards 2017) Probably where the old White Horse was. Adverts for the White Horse in Terrace Road don't start until about 1860.
