I don't know if this is any help. If you go on to Google, and click on images, then put " The Plough Inn ". There are 667 of them, maybe one is yours !! Good Luck Andrea :o)

Heidi I was at the Society of Genealogists library yesterday and looking through some old directories. Your Edwin Osgood was still at The Ship in Poplar in 1905. I did have a look in the 1920 version (next one available) but no sign of him at any of The Ploughs in London/Middlesex. I don't know if this will help you much but good luck with the search - I'm sure you'll find the right one eventually. Carolyn

Hi Heidi Why don't you put a copy of your photo on this sites photos & then ask if anyone recognises it on the boards? Penny

Glitter Babe - Ok, no problem. I'll keep searching for an image of it on line. Thanks for your help

Glitter Babe - thanks for the suggestion. I "googled" it and found plenty of references to the pub but unable to find a photograph of it - not surprisingly if it's been demolished. Did you know it? Was it a long, low building rather than a tall square one? Heidi

Christa - Yep - that's my Edwin Osgood alright. I knew he ran The Ship in 1901 but want to find him at The Plough (location unknown) at a later date. I only have a photograph of Edwin outside The Plough with Edwin's name at the bottom of the pub sign. It's frustrating not being able to find the pub (probably in SE England as he was a Londoner) Thank you everyone for trying to help also. Regards, Heidi

Pamela I love the spelling of Licensed "Vitchular" - a very clear phonetic rendition of Licensed "Victualler": presumably the man knew what his job was called but neither he nor the enumerator knew how to spell it? I thought I'd remark on it on the thread, just in case anyone was using the terms to search for a job description - although maybe there are other places where the word has been spelled this way.

and another Plough Inn, 3 St. Mary's Street, BS35 2AB, 2AT The Plough Inn had an annual rateable value of £16.0s.0d. in 1891 and £20.0s.0d. in 1903. (11 p.m. closing). The Plough Inn is still trading. It is now tied to Ushers of Trowbridge. 1861 Ephraim Nelson 1881 George Hughes 1891 George Hughes. Beerhouse.

heres another Plough Inn Plough Inn, 85 Barton Street (was Faust & Firkin, then Hoolahans), GL20 5PY The Plough must have been a prestigious pub one hundred years ago. In 1891 it had a substantial rateable value of £26.0s.0d. per year which had increased to a staggering £112 by 1903. Timber framed building which must be several centuries old. In the 1919 Kellys directory it is listed as the Plough Hotel. The tradition and architectural heritage of the pub has been conveniently forgotten in modern times. It traded as the Faust and Firkin in the late 1990's, part of the Firkin Brewery chain (but no brewery at the pub). The Plough went through yet another transformation to appease its trendy young clientele and was called Hooligans... sorry Hoolahan's, but, thankfully, it has recently reverted back to its proper identity.

Is Leek in London ??? LEEK CYCLISTS CLUB- The annual invitation tea given by the Club’s president T.S. Myatt Esq., took place at the Plough Hotel, Endon, on Thursday when some fifty members and friends enjoyed a first-class repast. After tea Mr. Myatt took the chair and in the course of some interesting remarks, spoke of the usefulness of the Club, and its past history, naming several of the ex-captains, and he also mentioned that the club had one of its members on the Leek Urban Council. Speaking of the benefits of the week-end camps, he pointed out the invigorating effects of this form of simple life. Songs, duets, and recitations were contributed by a number of members, friends and visitors, and a most enjoyable evening was spent, concluding with a hearty voice of thanks to the generous hosts. Leek Post, May 1910

That pub was called The Ship. http://www.historicaldirectories.org/ Crista

My gg grandfather, Edwin Osgood, ran a pub called The Plough somewhere in the UK around 1915-ish. It was a Whitbread pub but Whitbread distributed their archives about 3 years ago. I can't find out where The Plough was. He was a Londoner, so I am guessing The Plough was in the SE of England. I've used Kelly's Directories on line to no avail. Is anyone prepared to use whatever they have available to them to find the pub and Edwin as Landlord? I would be over the moon to be helped on this. Heidi
