Arlesey: The former Three Tuns

Only a little over four years on from Robin's Image and the pub has joined the remorseless and seemingly irreversible trend of closures. Even the building's Grade II Listed status has failed to save it. The English Heritage Listed Buildings website describes it thus:- "18th Century. Timber framed construction with colourwashed roughcast render. Thatched roof, half-hipped to W end. 3-room plan, one storey and attics, gable end to road. Variety of casement windows, all small with glazing bars. Eyebrow dormer to N elevation. 20th Century porch to N elevation. Red brick chimney stacks, one to ridge, one to each gable end. Single storeyed addition adjoins to E gable end, weatherboarded and thatched, with casement windows." The north elevation with the eyebrow dormer is this one. Comparing the older image with this one the other obvious change is the erection of the bus shelter in the period since 2005.
