This authentic 1970s colour photograph, captured in 1978, features the prominent facade of the White Horse Hotel on the Upper High Street in Guildford, Surrey. The archival image documents the hotel’s classic architecture, most notably the large polychrome statue of a medieval knight in armour mounted on a white rearing horse positioned above the main entrance canopy. The street scene includes several neighbouring businesses of the era, such as “Lombard North Central” and “National Westminster Bank,” housed in a mix of traditional gabled and modern brick buildings. The road is occupied by various 1970s vehicles, including a classic blue Austin Mini and a Datsun 120Y estate car parked near a “Toilets” sign. A lone pedestrian and a person sitting in the hotel doorway capture the daily pace of the town. This factual record preserves the commercial character and unique street furniture of Guildford’s historic High Street during the late 1970s.
