Three Horseshoes, Elsted

The contents of the public and saloon bars are interwar or possibly older and include a counter and bar back, wall panelling, and bench seating.  The rooms at the right and left ends of the pub date from the 1970s or later.Originally 4 cottages and later a two-roomed pub with adjoining butchers' shop in a c.200 year old brick building. The old beamed and quarry-tiled public bar on the right has half tongue and groove panelling, a bar counter, bar back of shelves with two deep drawers, and two old low basic benches plus two pew type benches, all of which is difficult to date but could be interwar or older.
The original saloon bar to the left with ‘3’ on the door has an uneven brick floor, large stone and brick fireplace, old half panelled walls with wall benches on two sides. The inside toilets with Crittall windows were probably added in the 1930s but the original outside gents' and ladies' toilets at the rear are still in use.

On the far right is the former butchers' shop still with hooks in the ceiling and a brick floor which became a pub room in the 1970s, so the bar fittings are from this date. The counter here is modern and there are casks on stillage behind it. On the far left in a 20th-century brick extension is a dining room brought into use in 1982, which was originally two small rooms with fireplaces in both.
