In 2016, reminders of the era when horses and horsedrawn vehicles were the fastest method of travel by road remain on this building, part of the Three Salmons Hotel opposite the main building. Horses were kept in these livery stables. Text on the wall shows OSTLERS BELL. Ostlers were the stablemen or grooms.
