The Three Legs Public House

The Three Legs Public House is a public house built in the mid-19th century, with alterations made in the early 20th century. It features a brick facade adorned with glazed faience and terracotta, topped with a slate roof. The building stands three storeys high and has five first-floor windows, with the central window being an oriel. The central entrance is arched and flanked by wide windows, with paired windows above, all featuring keystones. The second floor has rectangular windows separated by stepped pilasters, and there is a modillion eaves cornice and a strapwork parapet with slender urns. The end stacks are concealed by screen walls to hide the shallow pitch of the roof. The faience decoration extends across the ground floor and the oriel, which displays a plaque with the Three Legs symbol, flanked by leaves and scrolls, and features a balustrade above.

The interior was replanned and refitted in the late 20th century. The property has historical significance, having been part of the Harrison estate by 1638. In 1897, it was sold to the Leeds Estate Company, and in 1898, SW Wood, the owner of The Scarborough on Bishopgate Street, purchased the public house. He sold it in 1902 to Joshua Tetley and Sons, at which point the building included a shop. The alterations and refronting occurred during this ownership.
