Description
The Three Horse Shoes Public House is a public house dated 1691, with a rear range added in the mid-19th century. It features painted render with a painted ashlar plinth and dressings, and a roof covered with thin 20th-century stone slates, complemented by coursed rubble chimneys. The rear range is constructed of coursed roughly-squared rubble with ashlar dressings and has a roof of Welsh slate with yellow brick chimneys.
The building is two storeys high with a three-window range, while the rear range is three storeys with a similar three-window arrangement. The main range has a painted tooled surround to a renewed door located to the right of centre. There are renewed recessed 16-pane sash windows on the right and on the first floor, as well as a tripartite sash window on the left, all featuring thin projecting stone sills. A 20th-century flower box is positioned above the door. The roof has swept eaves and stepped end chimneys with massive plinths.
The rear range projects above the main building and displays three 4-pane sash windows on the second floor with flat stone lintels. The roof of this range includes end chimneys. The rear elevation has quoins and flat stone lintels above the door in the second bay, along with top-hung 4-pane sash windows that have projecting stone sills. The upper windows in the first bay are equipped with plain wrought-iron fire escape balconies and ladders. The interior has not been inspected.
