The Three Horseshoes, Monmouth, Grade II listed pub in Overmonnow, Monmouth, Wales.
The Three Horseshoes is a two-story stone building with a rendered exterior and a traditional hooded doorway at 21 Drybridge Street. It maintains the physical characteristics of a historic pub even though it no longer operates as one.
The building was established in 1888 when blacksmith William Philips founded it by combining his existing forge that had operated since 1859. This merger brought together two business activities that had roots in the town for decades.
The name comes from the blacksmith trade, as horses regularly needed shoeing in this part of town during the 1800s. The building reflects how important this craft was to local life.
The building is protected as a Grade II listed structure, meaning its historic fabric is legally protected. Since it no longer operates as a pub, check ahead to see whether it can be visited inside or viewed from the street.
A horse breaker named Victor Mackie worked in the yard in 1923, adding another layer to the property's long connection with equestrian activities. This shows how the site remained tied to horse-related work long after the forge era.
