The Three Horseshoes was located at No.9 High Street, the last cottage on
the left before you reach the Hunting Lodge, and is the
only pub shown in the
1887 OS map. We know that
the pub operated from at least 1854 until the early 1900s.
If you look carefully at the 1910 picture of
the Spread Eagle above, you can see the Three
Horseshoes pub sign in the middle distance.
The pub is not listed in the 1914 Kelly's Directory, so we can assume that
it had closed by then.

The
left hand part of this building later became a
grocers/sweet shop (marked with a red
cross on the middle picture above) run by Vere Coles,
who I presume was a descendant of the last landlord, John Coles. The
building is now a private house.
* Pub listed in the relevant location, but
only street name given (not pub name), so we can't be 100% certain.
