Count Muppet Posted May 10, 2019 Report Share Posted May 10, 2019 They used to put shoes in the wall when they were building them for luck or superstition. i doubt they opened up a new hole specially for it though. They are probably the same age as the pub or when the pub was extended or renovated Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

petercoulson Posted May 10, 2019 Report Share Posted May 10, 2019 Do they look like a left and right or both the same shape? We didn't start having lefts and rights until 1818 so that might help a little dating GLENGRAVING, kobblers and hibsjo(SCO) 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
