Closed: After 1937?

The Plough is only shown on OS maps as a beerhouse up to 1891; from the 1903 sheet onwards it's not marked, Though we have records showing the pub open until at least 1937.
Interestingly, modern maps do show it as the Plough (which helped our roaming photographer to find the right building).
Some censuses list the pub as Meltons Farm or Miltons, which are assumed to be the location, rather than the pub name.
