Pub history

The Horse Shoe Inn

These former two properties were grade II listed in 1987 and described as ‘late 18th century with mid-19th-century shop and public house fronts. The public house has a door right of centre, with a moulded hood over lintel incised C 1822’. At that time, Crook was a rural hamlet with a population of 228 (125 males; 103 females), chiefly employed in agriculture. The ‘Horse Shoe’ was the only inn.
