A website on Gloucester pubs provides the following information:
"White Lamp, Westgate Street
No 45 Westgate Street in 1906 Kelly's Directory. The address had changed to 87 Westgate Street in the 1939 Kellys. It closed in 1982 according to reports in the Citizen newspaper, but I think that it closed ten years earlier. Since closure it was left to slowly deteriorate and was held up by scaffolding for many years. Trees grew within the fabric of the building and the roof had collapsed. The facade of the old White Lamp, however, was still impressive. In July 2002 work finally started to renovate the building. The facade will be retained in the development but this will probably have to be rebuilt.
1906 Patrick Cuthbert Minahan
1919 William Henry Page
1927 John Brooks
1936,1939 William Matthews
1957 A. O. J. Couldrey
