Does anybody know if the White Horse still exists in Ostend? Remember going there in 1971 but heard it had burnt down since then.

I went to Ostend for a week, September 1964 with a work mate Malcolm Carey from Bolton, I was only 16. I think we went with Arrowsmith's flying from Manchester.
We met two girls from Leigh, cannot recall their names but one lived in Milk Street.
We made the most of it, the White Horse Inn was a brilliant night out a bit like a Bavarian Beer Hall and so novel at the time.
I remember we went to a Disco one night, the Supremes playing and me dancing in my Beatles Jacket and Cuban Healed Boots!!!
We also did a trip to Paris and a night club there with Argentine Tango Dancers, superb..
There was a sailing ship in Ostend harbour that we went on, think it was called Mercator.
Can't remember what I had for my tea last nigh, it's so funny what sticks in your mind..
