Listed in Nayland Rd. until at least 1901.
The 1841 census lists two Samuel Deaths, one in Nayland Rd. (Smith, Head/Married/61/born Suffolk) and the other in Little Mill (Blacksmith, Head/Married/32/born Suffolk).
The 1861 census lists John Death as a blacksmith journeyman in High St. (Head/Married/26/born Bures St Mary).
In 1869 & 1874 Samuel Death & William Death are listed as Blacksmiths.
The blacksmith premises closed sometime between 1933 and 1937 and was still being run by later generations of the Death family.
So the Three Horseshoes was run by the same family for several generations and they were also related to the local blacksmiths.
