The Plough Inn's origins are somewhat ambiguous, with its establishment firmly recorded by 1841. Initially described to consist of two bars and a tap room, it became notable for its unique security measure: a vixen fox to protect bottled beer. The pub transitioned from a beerhouse to being granted a wine license in 1927, showing its adaptation to customer demands. By the 1970s, it was revamped to better serve larger groups, marking its evolution in the local social landscape.
H. J. Crossley's memories of The Plough Inn's layout illustrate a vibrant local watering hole with an unconventional security measure: a vixen fox kept to deter thieves.
In 1925, plans were approved for the rebuilding of The Plough Inn, which had earlier functioned as a beerhouse and later expanded to include a wine licence.
