The Pubs
The Three Horseshoes
Among 18th century leases of the
Pisford's Charity cottages were a cooper and a "victualler"
(i.e. one who supplies food). In 1823 2 cottages were leased to Thomas
Walton, yeoman, in 1845 and were described as of "Horseshoes",
brewer. This is now the Three Horseshoes.

The Malt Shovel
In 1801 the Malt Shovel is described
as the "newly erected malthouse", and incorporates an earlier
half timbered building. (Charles Penn, the publican, took over the Malt Shovel
in 1908.and was also there in 1910 but we have no more information than that).

The Shunt
The house that was situated on the Watery Lane side of Weston
crossroads (demolished in 2009) was also, long ago, a pub.
