Kilburn White Horse 1

The White Horse measures 325 feet by 225 feet and was marked out by local teacher John Hodgson and his pupils in 1857 and cut by local workmen. The idea was to match the chalk figures found in the Downs in Southern England. The main problem was the absence of chalk locally. The horse used to be whitewashed regularly, but now it is given a fresh coating of chalk chippings brought in from elsewhere.
