Why is Spurs' ground called White Hart Lane?

It's not on White Hart Lane, that's about half a mile away.

A brewery used to own the land which was next to a pub called the White Hart Inn. I think thats the connection to the name.

Tottenhams ground was known as the High Road Ground when they moved in in 1899. It was not until after World War 1 that the name changed to White Hart Lane due to the fact that the nearest station was called White Hart Lane - hope this helps.
