The Plough Inn (3) - Arkells' plaque, Lechlade Road, Highworth
These plaques are often to be found on Arkells' pubs. This one is on the front of the pub at first floor level. The date of 1843, is the date the brewery was founded by John Arkell, who was born in Kempsford in Gloucestershire in 1802. The brewery is still owned by the Arkell family today. Image Image

The Plough Inn (2) - sign, Lechlade Road, Highworth
Since the early 1960's, this appears to be at least the third sign the pub has had, even though it has remained in the ownership of Arkells Brewery throughout that period. This one seems to be dated 0285 and signed by Mike Hawkes. The Plough is in the top twenty most common pub names, and reflects the days when England was mainly an agricultural society. Image Image

The Plough Inn (1), Lechlade Road, Highworth
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

Former car showroom, Lechlade Road, Highworth
These premises used to be a car showroom, possibly at one time a garage. They extend quite a way back from the road. When photographed in March 2011, they were boarded up. The signage had been removed, except for a small "Customer Parking" sign. On the right, two new houses were under construction on the former car park of the closed White Horse Inn.

Highworth: phone box in Grove Hill
This style of telephone box, the K8, was a familiar sight in the 1980s and 1990s, a successor to the even more well known K6 box which is still commonplace in towns and villages today. The K8, however, has almost been wiped out completely and it is reckoned that there may be as few as a dozen left in service. Two of them are in Highworth - see Image for the other.
