Part of the Stoughton Grange Rural Centre, Oadby. This centre is located on the side of the B582 (a.k.a. Gartree Road). It was previously a working farm known as Grange Farm but has for many years offered non-industrial commercial units to various businesses and retail outlets, including a well-known gastro-pub called "The Cow and Plough". This pub serves beers brewed by “The Steamin' Billy” group. In 1994 an alliance was formed when 19 year old William (“Bill”) Allingham of Leatherbritches Brewery brewed a house beer for Licensee Barry Lount of The Cow & Plough. They called the beer Steamin’ Billy after Barry’s family Jack Russell terrier. In 1996 Allingham & Lount formed Steamin Billy Brewing Co. Ltd in order to develop a chain of new pubs. Steamin' Billy beers are now brewed under licence at Belvoir Brewery in Old Dalby, Leicester.
