PUB LIST PUBLIC HOUSES Paul Skelton

Earliest 1737-

Three Horseshoes

1865+ (Name to)

Seasalter Road

Graveney

 

In 1865 the pub was seen recorded as the "Three Horse Shoes" in one of the local directories. Other references appear to give it just as the "Horse Shoes." That is till about 1858 when I see the first mention using the word Four. Seems to be a bit of an overlap in the naming here.

 

Kentish Weekly Post or Canterbury Journal, Saturday 28 May 1737.
