Description

The Three Horseshoes Public House is an early 18th-century building located on the south side of Hatfield Road in Smallford, Colney Heath. It features a timber frame with a plastered brick casing and a steeply pitched plain tile roof that has parapeted and corbelled gable ends. The building has a tall external chimney stack on the left gable end and a smaller internal stack on the right. The eaves are adorned with dentilled brickwork. The structure is two storeys high and includes two 20th-century glazing bar casements, along with a 20th-century door set in a heavy 18th-century frame. To the right, there is a canted sash bay window from the 19th century. Adjoining the left side is a single-storey 19th-century extension, which is also timber framed and features two Yorkshire casements. There is a large 20th-century extension on the right and a late 19th-century extension at the rear. Inside, the early part of the building reveals two bays with chamfer-stopped beams.
