An Arkells pub, owned by the well-known Swindon brewery. It is the smallest of all their pubs. It started life as a beerhouse, built in 1841 by a private landlord, Thomas Ackling. He sold it in 1873 to The Star Brewery of Stratton St. Margaret near Swindon. When they went bust, it was purchased by Arkells in 1896 for £960. It was the only one of the Star Brewery's 15 properties that Arkells bought. There isn't really much, if any, distinction these days between pubs and inns. Originally inns had overnight accommodation available, which is the case with the Plough today. Image Image
