Built in 1690, The Three Horseshoes is one of the oldest pubs in Kent, and even outdates some of Shepherd Neame's brewing records.

 

Kentish Gazette 09 October 1787.

CANTERBURY, Oct. 9.

On Saturday afternoon about five o'clock, as Mr. Curling, master of the "Three Horse Shoes," public-house, at Hernehill, was returning home in his cart from this city, just beyond the milestone on the Harbledown road, the horse took fright and ran away, and he endeavouring to catch hold of the reins, fell from the cart, and the wheel went over his body, by which he was so much bruised that he was carried to the "Coach and Horses" at Harbledown, where, in less than two hours, he expired in great agonies.

 

26 March 1789.

Insured:- Julius Shepherd, Faversham, Kent, brewer.

Other property or occupiers: the Three Horse Shoes, Hernhill (Whitewicke, victualler);

 

26 March 1793.

Insured: Julius Shepherd, Faversham, Kent, brewer.

Other property or occupiers: The Three Horse Shoes, Herne Hill (Ann Curling victualler);

 

Kentish Gazette, 8 July 1803.

Monday night, about 11 o'clock, a private in the 2nd Dragoon's, named Smith, quartered at a public house called the "Horseshoe," Staple Street in the parish of Herne Hill, cut his throat with a razor in so dreadful manner, that he died before medical assistance could be procured.

 

Kentish Gazette, 26 November 1844.

Sudden Death.

An inquest was holden yesterday at the "Three Horse Shoes," Staple-street, Hernhill, before T. T. Delasaux, Esq. on the body of John Epps, a thatcher, who expired suddenly last Saturday morning, whilst walking near Butt’s Hill.

Verdict— "Died by the visitation of God."

 

Kentish Gazette, 24 December 1844.

An inquest was held on Friday last, at the "Three Horse Shoes," Staple-street, Hernhill, before T. T. Delasaux, Esq. on view of the body of Jane Dunkin, aged 17, living with her parents at Boughton Hill, who was found dead in her bed the preceding morning.

From the evidence adduced, it appeared deceased had been subject to fits for some time past. Mr. Ogilvie, surgeon, of Boughton, applied the usual means of restoration, but of no avail, life being quite extinct, and was of opinion death was caused by apoplexy.

The jury returned a verdict accordingly.

 

From the Faversham Times, Saturday 7 January 1939.

LICENSING.

The license of the "Three Horseshoes, Hernhill, was transferred from Leonard Edward Honey to Leonard Frank Gurr.
