The Three Horseshoes is close to the site of the former tram shed which was between St Chad's Road and Hollin Road (now occupied by apartments). It was therefore not the actual terminus. The tram track reached this part of Headingley in 1873, when the shed was built.
The Three Horseshoes is an older building, built in 1832 by a blacksmith called John Askey. In common with other pubs of the same name, it served as a blacksmith's and an inn, with stables and lodgings for travellers. It was the terminus for the first horse-drawn omnibus service in the late 1830's.
The inn was sold to Joshua Tetley & Son in 1903, from the widow of John Askey's son.
