The 16th century Black Horse is now the only surviving pub in the village of North Nibley. (The New Inn at Waterley Bottom is still trading but it is located in an isolated position to the east of the village). The three gabled building is on the cross-roads in the centre of the village.
The landlord in 1903, A.A. Newton, was convicted and fined on 23rd January for selling brandy adulterated with 28% of water.
In 2002 the Black Horse was extensively refurbished and a new roof was added. It was sold by Quality Inns in November 2005.
