The Three Tuns
The history of the Three Tuns hotel can be traced back to the 16th Century but of what we know for sure was that the building was built as three houses in the late 18th century and does include the remains of an earlier building. As time has gone by The Three Tuns has gained a wealth of history embedded within its walls and has been known as a pub, a hotel and later was owned by Durham University for housing mostly post graduate students.
