The motto above the entrance to the former Perseverance Iron Works is Speed the Plough. The factory manufactured agricultural implements. The saying is picked up in a folk song performed on Plough Monday, after old twelfth night. So Jolly boys now Here’s God speed the plough Long life and success to the farmer. The pub on the corner is also called the Plough Inn Image
