Listed Building record MDO11433 - Three Choughs Public House, West Street, Blandford Forum

Eighteenth century public house built after the fire of 1731 in red brick, with a stucco plinth and door surround.

THE THREE CHOUGHS INN s. of the mid 18th century. The two W. bays of the five-bay S. front are splayed back from the street front. The three storeys of sashed windows are linked by red brick chainage and the first and second-storey windows have flush aprons of the same colour. Between the two E. ground-floor windows is a blocked opening. The N. elevation is of red brick, and three of the segmental-headed windows have leaded casements in wood surrounds. The tiled roof has a central valley which emerges on the W. The original plan consisted of four rooms set two on each side of a through-passage running from N. to S., with the staircase at the N. end. A central chimneystack is set in each E. and W. wall. The building has recently been repaired and the internal arrangements much altered. <2-3>
