The Coach & Horses was situated at 86 High Street. This pub closed in 2015.
From NE Lincolnshire Heritage:
C18 origins. 2 storeys, now rendered, with pantile roof. Plinth. Brackets to wood eaves cornice. Rusticated quoins. 3 windows, rusticated lintels, hung sashes with glazing bars, wood cases. Ground floor has 2 modern rectangular windows in rusticated surrounds with keystones. Window rustication, and that to door, is not original. The building was subject to a Historic Building Recording survey in advance of works to convert it from a public house into a number of dwellings. The Enclosure map of Barton-Upon Humber of 1797 shows little development of the High Street west of Maltby Lane, however there is a northwest to southeast aligned structure at the location of the public house which is likely to relate to the extant building. The area around the High Street became increasingly developed during the 19th century which included the building of No 86 to the west. The earliest source that mentions the Coach and Horses is the Hull Packet dating to July 1877. It is unlikely that the main structure fronting the street has ever functioned as anything other than a public house.The second phase represents the expansion of the pub and is depicted on the First Edition Ordnance Survey map of 1887–1888. The stairwell structure to the rear, two extension and the smaller lean-tos were also added at this time. The narrow and square extension west of the stairwell was likely added too to encase the stairs leading to first floor. During the third phase, between 1887 and 1968, the coach house falls out of use and it was converted into further living space or accommodation. Access is created between the lean-to extension to the west and one of the second phase extensions where a staircase is added, and the hallway on the ground floor is also created. The large door for coaches is bricked up, the first floor is lowered, a fireplace added as are further window openings. A small L-shaped extension was built in the location of the extant toilet block and the small extension to the rear of No 86 appears to have been built between 1932 and 1968. The fourth phase post-dates the 1968 map and comprises the addition of the rear toilet block. It is uncertain when No 86 to the west became part of the pub establishment.
