It's shown on this old OS map from about the end of the 19th century. interactive map
A planning application lodged in January 1991 states, "CHANGE OF USE OF FORMER PUBLIC HOUSE TO RESIDENTIAL" and refers to it as the "Old Horseshoes". So we can be sure it closed before then (perhaps it had lain empty for some years, like it did early in the 21st century).
It appears from these old maps that the pub was rebuilt closer to the junction some time between 1884 (top map) and about the end of the 19th century (bottom map)
After some years empty and semi-derelict, the pub was seen in 2015 to have been renovated and appears again to be in residential use.
