Sleapshyde
Up until the 1930s and the building of the North Orbital Road nearby, Sleapshyde was just an isolated rural hamlet with a farm, a pub, a chapel, and a few cottages. Since then it has expanded considerably. This green is the historical centre of the hamlet. The grey metal post in the centre carries a nameboard with "Sleap's Hyde", while old Ordnance Survey maps from the 1870s up to the 1930s describe the hamlet as Sleepshyde.

The Plough, Sleapshyde
In a tiny village at the end of a narrow lane out into fields, The Plough is one of those traditional country pubs that are now too few and far between.
It's difficult to get a good picture during opening hours as the forecourt is used for parking, but this angled shot from behind the barrels gives an idea of what the pub looks like.

Sleapshyde: The Plough
Taken almost 5 years to the day after Duncan's Image The Plough shows little change. It is one of a select group of public houses that warrant their own PH abbreviation on the Ordnance Survey's 1:50,000 scale mapping.
