The White Bull was situated on Eastgate. This pub was present by 1650, closed by 1736 and subsequently used as a tenement.

Grade II* Listed and built in 1736 by Abraham Hayward for John Disney on the former site of The White Bull Inn present by 1650. The long eastern 2-storey wing may be pre-1842 (Padley map). A large southern extension was added on the south side of this eastern part sometime between 1868 and 1883 (Padley maps evidence), possibly in 1883 for A H Leslie Melville, who applied for alterations in that year. The single-storey western wing on the frontage was added as a billiard room with roof light for Melville in 1887, by Goddard and Son architects. Occupants: 1821 Dr Cookson; 1867, 1877 Miss H Cookson; 1881, Caroline Hutton; around 1883-1913 (at least) A H Leslie Melville J P. Garage added in 1924. Listed in 1953 as the D'Isney Place Hotel it appears to have closed around 2005, an application to convert to flats having been submitted in the March and it became six apartments in 2008.
