Horning Ferry Inn c1902. The Inn was an extremely popular watering hole during late Victorian and Edwardian times and attracted many well known and important visitors during that period. In the 1890s, the author Ernest Suffling wrote; “A glance at its visitors’ book will show that many notable persons have used this inn as their rendezvous, the Marquis of Lorne, Lord Suffield and Mark Twain among others.”
