The pub is shown on this old OS map from about 1901 (interactive map)
Originally thatched, but the thatch was lost in a 1906 fire according to the Suffolk Free Press** on January 3rd 1906 :
A serious fire occurred at the Three Tuns, Cowlinge on Wednesday morning, the fire was seen in the thatched roof and in a short time the whole building was alight, the Westgate Fire Brigade was not summoned before 3 o' clock, the building was entirely gutted, the owners Messrs Greene, King and Sons were not insured."
The name changed from the Three Tuns to the Three Ways approximately 2014/2015.
