White's directory of 1856 lists 'Maltby Henry, sawyer and beerhs' (a sawyer saws timber but beerhs?). After 1868 and before 1872 he is 'joiner & vict. Black Horse' until after 1889. It probably became a pub in 1869 when laws sort to control the volume of the Beerhouses established with the 1830 Act. 1896 James Cottingham is listed here and 1905-1909 Henry Rayson, 1913-1919 John Miles Lester. The 1885 OS map shows a pub with the same High Street footprint as existing without the rear extensions. Reputedly the Black Horse was a watering hole for Guy Gibson (of Dam Busters fame) who was based at Scampton March to June 1938.
