Now residential. A planning application to change the pub to residential use was lodged in April 1997, so it probably closed about that date.
In the September/October 1982 edition of Last Orders*** it was reported that Brian Lamb had been at the Plough (Free house) since April and it remained unchanged with Adnams on handpump.
