The Plough Inn was situated on School Road. This pub closed c1976. The landlord, who ran the pub on his own, with the help of his locals, celebrated his 88th birthday shortly before the pub closed. The pub, which was originally a beer house, sold one beer, Elgood's Bitter, by gravity dispense. The landlord delighted in recounting stories from WW2 when the land-girls would flock to the pub after a day's work. The pub itself had become very run-down. The landlord lived in a caravan in the garden. The building was eventually demolished to make way for the access road, appropriately named Plough Lane, to a new housing estate.
