These premises have been known by different names during their history:FROMTONAME
c18351910COMPASSES / THREE COMPASSES
Thomas St VE Day
Thomas Street on VE Day, 8th May 1945.
In the directories the name continually changes between Compasses, Three Compasses and Compass. In 1856 the pub was used for an inquest. In 1858 it was To Let, and in 1865 the pub was up for sale. On 6th March 1868 William Newbold was fined for keeping his house open for the sale of beer during divine service on a Sunday. The Three Compasses closed on 14th July 1910 and became a lodging house.

This is usually a reference to the compass or compasses that appear on the Arms of the Masons (one), the Joiners (two), or the Carpenters (three), or the pub may interpret the name as the kind of compass used by mariners to guide their ships.
